The Phenom uses a GFC700 autopilot by Garmin. Interesting tidpit from its webpage: >enabling it to fly fully coupled GPS-only LPV approaches into runways not served by ILS or other ground-based electronic approach aids. GPS-only only approach is probably the issue here. If the runway its using doesn't have ILS then it only has the GPS fallback. If there's no ILS and no GPS, then I would expect issues. This last comment in this forum points to GPS interference issues with the GFC700 that sounds significant. Sounds like the GFC700 is susceptible to GPS issues and because this is a corporate jet and may be landing on a privately owned airstrip, it may be the case that there's isn't any ILS or unreliable ILS at those strips. Unreliable/non-existant ILS and a wonky GPS? Yeah, an autoland procedure could be fatal in those circumstances. http://www.diamondaviators.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4437&start=10 http://www.diamondaviators.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4437&st...
