The proposed paper describes the development, testing and demonstration of an automatic take-off and landing (ATOL) system for a very light all-electric optionally-piloted aircraft. The system allows to control the aircraft during during approach, flare, ground run and take-off. Simulation results as well as real flight test data is presented.
