A King Air B200, tail number N479BR , squawked 7700 and ultimately landed itself at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) in Broomfield, Colorado on Saturday, December 20, 2025. Garmin later confirmed the activation, and ATC audio captured the synthetic callouts declaring “pilot incapacitation” and the system’s intention to land. Max adds the kind of detail that makes this story feel real: he was flying in Colorado that day, monitoring Guard, and heard the automated messages as they occurred. He also heard a voice transmit on Guard mentioning a depressurization and describing difficulty changing frequencies—consistent with the way Autoland takes control of communications once activated. In their discussion, the flight track shows the airplane climbing out of Aspen into the low-20s, then descending, leveling, and later maneuvering near the destination before landing—exactly the kind of structured “get down, get safe, get on the ground” profile Autoland is designed to execute. Aviation outlets reported the emergency was tied to a pressurization issue and the engagement of emergency descent logic. Aviation International News+1 After a quick note that Episode 19 was cited in a New York Post story by Emily Crane , the episode pivots into four NTSB reports that all share one theme: the accidents are “simple” only if you ignore the physics. First is N850JH, a fatal TBM 850 crash near Ludington, Michigan . The NTSB concluded the pilot departed after pulling the airplane from an unheated hangar during active snowfall and taxiing out with visible snow contamination on the wings and horizontal stabilizer.
