Im not familiar with this plane, but the Airbus a320 has an auto-landing autopilot. I wonder how often that's used though.

- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoA Cessna 208 is definitely not in that category of aircraft; this is a small (<10 pax), single-engined turboprop.
- zokier 4y agoThat being said I, with no aviation experience, definitely would feel more comfortable attempting to land a Cessna than an Airbus even if it were more manual operation
- Nextgrid 4y agoPassenger-jet autoland systems still rely on a lot of prior configuration such as dialing in ILS frequencies, setting the right autopilot settings, etc.
- jaywalk 4y agoMost commercial airliners have the same system. It's mainly used in bad weather when the visibility is below minimums for a manual landing. CAT IIIc autoland (the highest/most advanced) is certified for zero-visibility landings.
