About this app

** 30 Day Free Trial! **

Garmin Pilot is a comprehensive aviation application that allows pilots to plan, file, fly and log with ease.

Garmin Pilot is the most comprehensive suite of tools for Android designed specifically for general aviation and corporate pilots. Flight planning, filing, 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, file, fly with Garmin Pilot.

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, PIREPs, TFRs and lightning data. With Garmin Pilot, data can be displayed over a 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. 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, cancel or close the flight plan.

Fly

Garmin Pilot provides full en-route navigation capability on its moving map, while showing ETE, ETA, cross track error, distance to waypoint and current position.

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.

Garmin Pilot. It’s the app aviators have been waiting for.

Features include:
- Charts: VFR Sectionals, low and high IFR en-route, airport diagrams and approach procedures
- Optional geo-reference Garmin FliteCharts® and Garmin SafeTaxi® show aircraft position on approach charts and taxiways
- Weather Maps: Animated radar, AIRMETs/SIGMETs, Lightning, PIREPs, METARs/TAFs, Winds Aloft, TFRs, Infrared and Visible Satellite
- Extensive text products: METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft, PIREPs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, Area Forecasts and NOTAMs
- Dynamic weather overlays with your route displayed on map
- AOPA Airport Directory
- Flight plan filing via Lockheed Martin and DUATS
- Comprehensive weather data direct from the National Weather Service and Environment Canada

Much better briefing than Foreflight. Has some really handy features as well (e.g. calculation on how much fuel to add, weather text on route, W&B favorites). Pity that the iOS Garmin Pilot version has more features than android (e.g. Documents). The fact that you can import performance profiles, routes from autorouter.aero is great. It's not completing stable (some crashes happened), but at least there is an alternative to Foreflight for flight on Android.

Honestly, I don't get the hate. I feel like most of the complaints are from boomers who are just generally bad with tech. I've never had any issues with Garmin pilot. It can be abit hard to navigate and figure out in the beginning, but if you have Garmin avionics, alot of the interface is the same. One of my favorite features is the flight plan transfer. It makes the planning to flight execution so much quicker!

Original: Overall, I've had a good experience with the app. As others have said, the startup is slow. really slow. I use an external GPS (Garmin GDL50). I haven't had any problems with that. After one of the updates this year, all my plans and pilots in the app disappeared. Contacted support. They said to log in and go back in again. (that fixed it). My biggest complaint is that the Android version lags behind the IOS version. I"'d give it more stores if they were in parity.
