Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) has approved the Piper M600/SLS Halo safety system with Garmin Autoland and autothrottle, Piper Aircraft announced today. This follows FAA and EASA nods for the system on the M600/SLS in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
“The certification of Halo in Canada is an important accomplishment for M600 owners, Piper, and our Canadian dealer, Aviation Unlimited,” said Piper Aircraft v-p of sales, marketing, and customer support Ron Gunnarson. “It is our mission to bring the latest and greatest technology in our aircraft to customers worldwide.”
For M600/SLS aircraft already operating in Canada, the installation of a kit containing Halo components and a new software load will enable the entire Autoland system, according to the Vero Beach, Florida-based aircraft manufacturer.
“We are thrilled to have the certification of Halo completed in Canada and to offer our customers the promised piece of mind that comes with the Garmin Autoland system,” noted Aviation Unlimited president Solly Capua.
