Autoland
Autoland is an advanced aviation technology that allows an aircraft to land automatically without pilot intervention. It uses a combination of onboard systems, including sensors and computers, to guide the plane safely to the runway. This system is particularly useful in low-visibility conditions, such as fog or heavy rain.
The Autoland feature is commonly found in modern commercial aircraft, especially those designed for long-haul flights. Pilots can activate the system during the approach phase, ensuring a smooth landing. While Autoland enhances safety, pilots are still trained to take control if necessary.
