True 100% Autoland. No Crew Input needed.

Cirrus and Garmin have just introduced Safe Return Emergency Autoland. if the sole pilot of the Cirrus Vision Jet becomes incapacitated, all a passenger has to do is hit the big red "land the airplane" button and the jet automatically turns towards the nearest suitable runway, taking terrain, obstacles and wether into account, squawks 7700, configures the aircraft, lands, and stops. Piper uses the same Garmin technology branded as "Halo", also integrated into the G3000 avionics suite.
