Piper Aircraft has announced the next generation M Series aircraft – the M600 SLS, standard equipped with the new HALO Safety System. It will now also be the first general aviation aircraft in the world to be certified with Autoland capability.
The HALO Safety System is a compilation of technologies unique to the M600 SLS and its avionics suite. The system includes Auto-throttle, Emergency Descent Mode, Enhanced Stability and Protection, Surface Watch, Safe Taxi, Flight Stream connectivity and more. However, of greatest significance is the addition of Autoland capability – which safely lands the aircraft at the nearest suitable airport in the event that the pilot is incapacitated. SWAPA has released a statement regarding recent media reports alleging the use of cameras to conduct video surveillance in aircraft lavatories. The claims made in recent media reports referencing litigation filed by a Southwest Airlines flight attendant regarding the alleged use of cameras to conduct video surveillance in Southwest Airlines lavatories are completely false, the union said. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), known throughout aviation circles for an often anti-aviation stance, despite a lack of knowledge on the topics at hand, used a Senate
Commerce Committee hearing this week to call for what would amount to an indefinite grounding of Boeing's 737 MAX airplanes. Blumenthal took issue with the FAA's program that delegates some certification tasks to aircraft manufacturers. The Seattle Times reports that NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt told the committee that in both accidents, the MCAS was triggered by a single defective sensor.
