Piper Aircraft has been awarded approval from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) for its M600/SLS HALO safety system with Garmin Autoland and stand-alone auto-throttle.

“The Brazilian certification is a key milestone for our flagship M600/SLS aircraft," says vice president of sales, marketing and customer support Ron Gunnarson. "The Piper M600/SLS was the first aircraft to achieve FAA certification with the Garmin Autoland system and subsequent international validations will continue. Additionally, the aircraft features the latest software and capabilities offered by Garmin for the G3000 avionics suite, Garmin's PlaneSync technology and competitive range, payload and safety features along with outstanding operating economics. Our Brazilian customers are looking forward to the kind of value proposition delivered by the M600/SLS as well as with the peace of mind that comes with the Garmin Autoland system.”

Additionally, the Garmin G3000 avionics suite includes auto-throttle, Autoland, emergency descent mode, electronic stability and protection, Surface Watch, Safe Taxi and Flight Stream 510, all of which are designed to enhance safe operation of the aircraft.
