Not sure why they let the Autoland continue if they had their masks on. https://share.google/L99YOXl8uVXWExf4z “As per standard procedures, the two pilots immediately put on their oxygen masks,” CEO Chris Townsley says. “The aircraft, equipped with Garmin Aviation's latest Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Autoland systems, automatically engaged exactly as designed when the cabin altitude exceeded the prescribed safe levels. The system selected a suitable airport per Garmin criteria (KBJC, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport), navigated to it, and communicated automatically along the way."

December 25, 2025Dec 25 I've just read that despite being on oxygen the pilots elected to leave the auto land engaged. I guess they figured that was the safest option.
