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.

  • Love it! Stick to the same interface that you have in the aircraft!

    I have been using Garmin Pilot for over 3 years. Overall I have absolutely loved it, especially with my ability to use on both my Samsung Tablet and Samsung Phone (great for the smaller seat on the DA42), but recently I got an iPad and now I love it even more. I mostly appreciate the fact that Garmin Pilot is the same interface as the Garmin equipped aircraft I fly, be it the GNS 430, or the G1000. From a “compare and contrast” standpoint, my understanding is that it is incredibly similar to ForeFlight, except for the direct Garmin integration and interface. I love that it directly connects to my GDL ADSB receiver that I stick on the window. Admittedly the Android version was a bit more limited in feature sets, and I definitely admire the capabilities on the iOS version, but it is clear that the Android version is quickly catching up. For me, any software that can reliably and seamlessly work across popular platforms is a hands down win. Most importantly, and perhaps the biggest win of all, has been the EXCELLENT responsive customer service from Garmin. They had a few issues about 6 months ago with a major update, and before I could get too frustrated, a simple email to their support had it resolved within a few days, with direct communication from their support engineers. They guided me through the steps to send them more detailed logs, and I got personal, valuable, and excellent service to make right what went wrong. Simply put, Garmin Pilot is perfect for my aviation journey as I advance into my CFI instruction, be it Android or iOS, it is simply excellence.
  • Winds aloft routinely radically wrong

    Consistantly flight planning and finding gross errors with winds aloft in the below 10,000 ranges. Flight tonight, fcst winds were a 2 knot tailwind. Had 40kt headwind for an hour. Used 5.6 gallons more. Almost an unplanned fuel stop. Unfortunately, these errors are frequent. When is Digital ATIS ? Jepp has had it for 5 years+
  • V24.11.0 - AWFUL Wx Imagery - Still!

    The weather imagery needs a major overhaul. With all the imagery available from the national weather service, the storm prediction center and the aviation weather center they give you just a small amount to make no decision whatsoever. They also include other countries that aren’t needed when flying in the US. The pilot should only have or need the countries that they are resident in and able to download the other countries if needed. The competition has much better imagery, and I use it instead of Garmin pilots.
  • Great upgrade

    The latest update works so great on iPad, it’s a breeze to file an IFR flight plan, get your flight briefings. Way to go Garmin!
  • Great App

    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.
