    The Lockheed L-1011 cannot recognize that the pilot is incapacitated. It cannot make a decision on which airport is the most appropriate for an emergency landing. It cannot automatically communicate with air traffic control to declare an emergency and to determine if it can actually land on the chosen airport. It cannot configure the plane for landing. It cannot automatically power-down the plane after landing.

    So yes, it can do all the parts except the relevant new parts of Garmin Autoland.
