Automatic Emergency Landing
Several events can trigger an Automatic Emergency Landing. If the Navigation or Guidance Systems suffer sudden damage while in flight (such as a Critical Timing Error, or monopole turbulence), if the Main Doors are opened while in the Vortex, if the TARDIS is approaching the boundary of the Time Spiral, if exposed to time spillage with a rating of more then 7 of the Bocca Scale or if the Warp Ellipse Cutout Circuit detects an imminent collision with a vessel in spatial-temporal warp ellipse orbit. Under all these circumstances (and more) a TARDIS will use the coordinate override to initiate an Automatic Emergency Landing on the "nearest" available habitable planet. If a TARDIS is in danger of traveling outside the Time Spiral, then the Time Spiral Detector will also trigger an Automatic Emergency Landing. An Emergency Materialization can be manually activated to get a TARDIS to home in on and arrive near the source of a broadcast signal of some sort.
