Epic E1000 AX Receives FAA Approval for Garmin Autoland System
Epic Aircraft secured FAA certification for Garmin's Autoland system on its E1000 AX, making it the only high‑performance single‑engine aircraft equipped with Autoland activation buttons in multiple cabin locations.1
Passengers can trigger Autoland by pressing a dedicated button, and the system can also engage automatically if it detects pilot incapacitation; the E1000 AX received FAA type certification in July 2025 and is powered by a 1,200‑shp Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A‑67A engine.1
