But same as Tesla’s Autopilot on land, this system makes the sci-fi fantasy feel close at hand. If autonomous flying air transportation ever arrives, it’s still years of testing and legal rulings away from reality. If that system can’t get you to land safely, the Vision Jet has a parachute that will deploy, and land the plane right side up.

The difference between this and a commercial jet’s systems is that those pilots are trained to know how to specifically monitor the autopilot, and be ready to intervene if needed. Cirrus Vision Jet G2+ at a Glance And it’s one that now extends to the addition of Safe Returnthe Cirrus name for Garmin’s 2021 Flying Innovation Award-winning Autoland systemthe G2 platform that. Sounds futuristic, but automatic landing systems have existed for year- in general, for non-pilots and non-enthusiasts, a startling amount of flight is automated. It touches down, and slows to a safe stop. It descends as gently as if an expert pilot were in control. With the clear runway in sight, the landing gear deploys, and the plane slows down. The system accounts for every variable-altitude, weather, terrain, fuel level-and tells air traffic control to have help ready. The plane then finds the nearest available airport, notifies the right frequencies of your emergency, and steers towards a safe runway. The screens flash “Emergency Autoland Active,” and tell you to keep away from the controls while it works. You hit the button, and a voice calmly announces that the system is active. It's also available on the Piper M600, and will likely be available in other planes soon.

In practice, it means that, if the pilot is incapacitated, land the plane safely, without human intervention. It’s an autopilot landing system built by Garmin, and part of the G3000 flight deck system. Because, unlike in commercial jets, there might not be a human copilot to take over in an emergency, this Cirrus has Safe Return.
