A Beechcraft Super King Air 200 landed itself at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport near Denver on Dec. 20 after a rapid loss of cabin pressurization triggered Garmin’s Emergency Autoland system, marking its first full real-world use in an emergency. Both pilots remained conscious and let the automation complete the landing. The FAA is investigating. Automated radio calls referenced “pilot incapacitation,” but the operator said this was a system message, not an actual condition.
