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 39 3D 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.

Still no visual notam support in UK

I’ve used Pilot for years, and prefer it to other competitors for the most part. However, it still does not show notams visually on the map like Sky Demon does. I therefore still have to use Sky Demon if I want to see those. Come on Garmin, it’s been a long time and still this feature is missing.

Excellent tool but support lacking

Garmin Pilot has progressively improved during its development. It was, however, the ability to send flight plans almost instantaneously from an iPad to a Garmin GTN 750 equipped with a FlightStream Bluetooth SD card that pulled me away from my previous navigation app and this remains a unique and enormously valuable feature.
Not so good is what appears to be a total lack of opportunity to interact with Garmin”s product support. The current problem with checklists highlighted this: first an upgrade deleted them all, then the next upgrade brought them back, now they are gone again and any new ones created and saved vaporise when the checklist pane is exited— very frustrating, especially as there appears to be no way of contacting Garmin to report these issues.

Almost there

This latest version is so much better than the first attempt by Garmin. It is almost there and in general very good. For VFR it is reasonable but you certainly would need the official maps, as you would with other aviation Apps. One huge missing is for IFR. There are no confirmation of filing acceptance and no slot times or update slot times. Until Garmin include this it is not acceptable for IFR flight planning. Access to AIP's is also missing. If they develop it further it could be the killer aviation App.
