Electronic checklists can be viewed within Garmin Pilot, enabling you to have procedures at the
ready for every flight. Choose a checklist to import from our library, or manually enter the data
from your aircraft’s POH (pilot’s operating handbook) into Garmin Pilot or the flyGarmin website.
With Database Concierge, Garmin Pilot also allows you to wirelessly update the aviation databases
of your compatible avionics. At home, you can simply select the individual databases on Garmin
Pilot, download them, and then store them to your mobile device for later use. Once your device
establishes a wireless connection in the airplane, Garmin Pilot transfers your up-to-date databases
directly to the compatible avionics in minutes, where they’ll wait in standby until their effective
dates.
Using your device’s built-in GPS receiver, optional
GDL® 39,
GLO™ for Aviation or Connext-compatible
configuration¹, Garmin Pilot provides full en route navigation on the rich, interactive moving map.
A unique Radial Menu provides easy onscreen access to create a user waypoint or navigate Direct-to
as well as ability to view current weather conditions and airport/navaid information at a glance.
Our patented Panel Page provides situational awareness, including a graphical HSI directional
display and indicators for groundspeed, altitude, rate of turn and vertical speed. The app also
automatically keeps track of your ETE, ETA, crosstrack error, distance to waypoint, current
position and much more. Garmin Pilot also incorporates cruise, climb and descent performance tables
to increase the accuracy of ETE and fuel burn calculations for your flight.
Smart Airspace™ automatically highlights airspace close to your current altitude and de-emphasizes
airspace away from the current altitude, providing you with increased situational awareness. With
an optional GDL 39 or Connext-compatible configuration¹, you can receive ADS-B or SiriusXM® weather
and ADS-B datalink traffic while flying in the U.S. Our patented TargetTrend™ relative motion
tracking technology offers a faster, more intuitive way of judging aircraft trajectories and
closure rates in relation to your aircraft's flight path. TerminalTraffic™ technology provides
pilots with the most comprehensive picture of ADS-B-equipped aircraft and ground vehicles in the
airport environment. The airport environment is easier to understand with SafeTaxi® diagrams
overlaid on the moving map, including references to runways, taxiways, hangar locations and more.
Additionally, pilots with a Jeppesen® electronic charting subscription can now view their approach
charts within Garmin Pilot.
