- AmbroseBierce 10mo agoIt does: > Safe Return is an emergency system designed to be deployed by passengers in case of pilot incapacitation. But Safe Return also is programmed to activate itself when it senses the pilot has become unresponsive or succumbed to hypoxia.

- wkat4242 10mo agoAh ok I was not aware of that. I have not flown a plane that had it (I did fly some with G1000 and autopilot but it didn't have this, I think it's only an option on the G3000). But I just saw about the activation button.
- stavros 10mo agoIt says somewhere that the system also detects if the aircraft is unstable and the pilot has not attempted to stabilise it, or if there's no input for a long time.
