Plane Lands itself with autopilot after Emergency

On December 20, 2025, a King Air 200 over Colorado started talking to air traffic control in a calm robotic voice: "pilot incapacitation... emergency autoland." Then it landed itself. It's the first time Garmin Emergency Autoland has been used in a real emergency. And the two pilots on board were conscious the whole time. Here's what happened, told through the real tower audio from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC).
