The Honeywell systems I've worked with turn left and squawk 7700. Aircraft with auto-throttle descend pretty quickly, without it can take a while as over-speed protection keeps descent rate low. This has been common on mid-range and up business jets for 10-15 years.
Thanks for the information; I wasn’t aware of the Honeywell system.
Regarding lower traffic, the chance of hitting someone below you would be slim. Compared with a complete hull loss it’s worth the risk. I’d be more concerned with terrain.
If your cellphone is such a distraction, turn it off!
I concur with many posts I have read here. With automated rapid descent how can a pilot know about lower level traffic?
I’d like to see this on smaller pressurized aircraft, as it could have potentially saved the life of Payne Stewart other passengers and crew when they experienced hypoxia in their aircraft.
