Piper Aircraft, Inc. has achieved a significant milestone by securing approval from Transport Canada’s Civil Aviation (TCCA) authorities for its innovative M600/SLS HALO safety system, featuring Garmin Autoland technology and a stand-alone auto-throttle. This achievement underscores Piper’s commitment to advancing aviation safety and technology, while enhancing the capabilities of its aircraft for customers around the world.
For existing M600/SLS aircraft already in operation within Canada, a streamlined upgrade process awaits. By installing a straightforward kit comprising key HALO components and incorporating a new software load, these aircraft can be seamlessly equipped with the entire Autoland system.
Ron Gunnarson, Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support, Piper Aircraft said, “The certification of HALO in Canada is an important accomplishment for M600 owners, Piper, and our Canadian dealer, Aviation Unlimited. It is our mission to bring the latest and greatest technology in our aircraft to customers worldwide.”
The Garmin Autoland system, an integral component of the HALO safety system, represents a groundbreaking advancement in aviation technology. It is designed to autonomously manage critical flight functions and land the aircraft safely in the event that the pilot becomes incapacitated or is unable to operate the controls. This innovative system has the potential to significantly enhance overall safety and provide an additional layer of reassurance to both pilots and passengers.
Solly Capua, President, Aviation Unlimited said, “We are thrilled to have the certification of HALO completed in Canada and to offer our customers the promised peace of mind that comes with the Garmin Autoland system.”
