Description

*30 Days Free Trial on initial download!* Plan. File. Fly. Log. Garmin Pilot is the most comprehensive suite of tools for the iPad designed specifically for general aviation and corporate pilots. Flight planning, charts, interactive maps, weather briefing resources and navigation capabilities; it’s all included. The app’s intuitive interface mirrors those on the newest Garmin touchscreen avionics so you can go seamlessly from preflight to inflight. Plan Garmin Pilot’s powerful capabilities start with pre-flight planning, providing pilots with the most comprehensive aviation weather information to make better-informed flight decisions. Pilots can check NEXRAD radar, visible and infrared cloud imagery, METARs, TAFs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, winds and temperature aloft, TFRs and lightning data. With Garmin Pilot, data can be displayed over Garmin’s interactive maps that support track-up navigation, VFR sectional or an IFR low or high en-route chart to visualize the weather for your route. Add text-based weather widgets and use the exclusive NavTrack feature to view weather along the planned route. File With Garmin Pilot, users can easily enter a flight plan and interactively edit it on the map. Pre-loaded forms make it quick to save and reuse data for frequently flown routes. And when the flight plan is ready, Garmin Pilot makes it simple to file, amend or close the flight plan via Leidos Flight Service or DUATS. Fly Garmin Pilot provides full en-route navigation capability on its moving map. Pilots can also navigate with Garmin’s patented panel, a GPS-driven instrument pack with a graphical HSI directional display and indicators for groundspeed, altitude and vertical speed. After takeoff, pilots can continue to view real-time weather in the U.S. and traffic information by wirelessly connecting to Garmin’s GDL 50 series portable ADS-B Receiver (sold separately). Log Garmin Pilot includes a comprehensive electronic logbook that syncs with flyGarmin. The logbook automatically generates entries based upon GPS data collected during the flight, tracks currency, supports manual entries, endorsements and creates reports.

    I’ve used Garmin pilot since it came out! If you like garmin equipment you’ll love this app. They are constantly adding new features and interfaces.
  • App lies about database download status

    By sladehawke
    This app has an insidious error related to database concierge. It will tell you that all downloads are downloaded and ready for install, even though they are weeks out of date. You MUST manually refresh the downloads screen to know whether there are additional downloads for your panel.
  • Tutorials

    If there are tutorials, it is not yet clear where they are. This would be a good user feature to offer. E.g. an intro course to Garmin Pilot.
  • Better than ForeFlight

    I’ve been using ForeFlight since it was released. I briefly evaluated Garmin Pilot back in 2012, but everyone was going with ForeFlight so I followed the crowd. I thought I would try Garmin Pilot again because most of the avionics in my plane are Garmin products and there were some favorable reviews. Unfortunately, Garmin’s security software prevented me from registering a new account. No explanation, I was just blocked. The error message instructs me to contact Garmin with an error code, but good luck finding help on their website. I will just keep using ForeFlight.
  • Crashes Out on Map View

    I was flying IFR yesterday, and the Garmin Pilot app stopped working simultaneously on two iPads and an iPhone. Attempting to restart the Pilot app resulted in near instantaneous crashes, leaving me without a working set of electronic pubs. Holy cow! Killed the app, hard reset the iPads, nothing worked to fix the problem. Glad I wasn’t in actual IMC.
  • Battery performance needs some work.

    Eats a lot of battery, perhaps not optimized for the M2 iPad Pro?
  • Great App from Start to Finish

    I’ve been using Garmin Pilot for the last 4 years and 400 flight hours. I used it during instrument training and every time I fly now. It’s become my constant companion on every flight and integrates seamlessly with my G1000 avionics and Garmin Aviation watch. I’ve never used any competitors but don’t feel I need to either.
  • Not keeping up

    I’ve been using Garmin Pilot for years and will continue to do so, but lately Garmin has been lacking real substantial progress in adding features that will keep it competitive with ForeFlight.
