"Garmin Emergency Autoland received its first FAA certification in May 2020 for the Piper M600, more than two decades after the Payne Stewart disaster."

Garmin's official announcement confirms FAA certification on May 18, 2020, for its G3000-equipped Piper M600 implementation. The date establishes the long interval between the 1999 accident and certified deployment. It grounds the chapter's discussion of how much engineering, testing and institutional approval separates inspiration from practical technology.
