KingAir Autoland at KBJC due to pilot incapacitation

[Rick]

The Garmin "autoland" feature saves a King Air after the pilot became incapacitated.  Condensed audio is attached - interesting to hear the computer announcing to ATC.  I couldn't find the approach frequency to get the initial calls, but you can hear the tower controller start moving aircraft out of the way and telling them about the incoming King Air, and then the subsequent announcements by the plane.
