The automatic flight capabilities of a CS-23 aircraft are enhanced by automating maneuvers, based on Visual-Flight-Rules (VFR), currently adhered by manned flight. The system presented is capable of guiding the aircraft to a predefined landing trajectory. The system was tested in SiL and HiL. Afterwards, the capabilities were demonstrated on an optionally piloted Diamond DA42 aircraft.
