I am working on a laminated document for Pilot Incapacitation, I'll let you know when I'm done. But working it out a little while crossing the country, it's more than one button push, but nothing that is critical immediately. (I am on autopilot as soon as we are wheels up and until I am in the pattern.) The big difference between the DA42 and DA40 is that there are hours and hours to get on the ground safely.
Communicate, get on an ILS to a big huge airport, gear down on short final, ready on the brakes. You probably would survive even if you didn't turn off the autopilot. I *think* it would put the wheels on the ground. Dave?
