“We’re excited to partner with Jeppesen to give our mutual
customers additional charting options within our premier global
application,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation
sales and marketing. “In addition to our partnership with Jeppesen,
Garmin Pilot continues to grow its presence as an essential
application with an expanded feature set that now supports Database
Concierge wireless database transfer to select Garmin avionics.
With Garmin Pilot, we continue to enhance its capability to bring
pilots a seamless, fully integrated and modernized application that
saves pilots valuable time in the cockpit.”
Jeppesen terminal charts and chart overlay for Apple mobile
devices
Garmin Pilot introduces the integration of Jeppesen terminal
charts, the popular electronic charting solution, to bring pilots a
first-of-its-kind, comprehensive application for pilots flying
around the globe. Within the app, customers with a Jeppesen
electronic chart subscription can download and save Jeppesen
charts, including approach charts, arrival and departure
procedures, as well as Jeppesen airway manuals. Charts can be saved
in pilot-selectable binders for convenient access, which can be
viewed in full-screen or split-screen mode.
“Combining the best in class capabilities of Garmin and Jeppesen
establishes a premier cockpit app in Garmin Pilot that will enhance
the flying experience for general aviation pilots worldwide,” said
Scott Reagan, director, Jeppesen OEM Business Development. “We look
forward to delivering future enhancements as we advance app
technology and develop exciting new capabilities together.”
Customers who utilize Jeppesen charts or Garmin FliteCharts can
also take advantage of chart overlay, which displays instrument
approaches on top of the moving map for optimal situational
awareness when transitioning from the enroute to approach phase of
flight. Depending on preference, these charts can also be viewed in
track-up and north-up on the moving map. Customers with a Garmin
Pilot IFR Premium subscription and an available Jeppesen electronic
chart license may access Jeppesen charts within the application at
no additional charge. To purchase a Jeppesen electronic chart
subscription for Garmin Pilot, contact Jeppesen at:
800.621.5377.
Garmin Pilot range ring and flight plan enhancements for
Apple mobile devices
Also new as part of the upgrade, Garmin Pilot offers pilots the
option to display a glide range ring on the moving map within Apple
mobile devices. The glide range ring is depicted as a cyan ring
around the estimated area that can be reached by the aircraft in a
best glide range configuration. Range is based on Best Glide (VG)
speed and the glide ratio entered by the pilot within the aircraft
profile, which then utilizes the aircraft’s altitude and wind to
determine range ring distance. The option to shape the glide range
ring for rising terrain that may interfere with the aircraft’s
glide range is also available.
Additionally, pilots can now more easily modify flight plans
within Garmin Pilot on Apple mobile devices by simply selecting the
flight plan bar along the top of the display from any page.
Automated electronic logbook for Android
Pilots can now take advantage of electronic logbook capabilities
built-in to the Garmin Pilot application for Android mobile
devices, which also offers seamless integration with flyGarmin.
While flying with Garmin Pilot, the logbook feature provides
automatic record keeping of commonly recorded data pertaining to
each flight. Information such as date, total duration of each
flight, number of takeoffs and landings, route and more are all
conveniently sorted and saved for easy reference across Garmin
Pilot devices and within flyGarmin. Built-in redundancy also allows
pilots to make manual logbook entries via the flyGarmin website or
Garmin Pilot app, where both entries are automatically synced and
stored. Additional capabilities include the option to record
endorsements, track flight currency, generate historical flight
reports and more. All Garmin Pilot customers can also visit the
flyGarmin website to import previous flight plans.
Flight Stream 510 for Android and Apple mobile
devices
Pilots can more easily manage their database subscriptions with
Flight Stream, while also receiving additional benefits such as
wireless flight plan transfer, the sharing of traffic, weather, GPS
position data and more via the Garmin Pilot app. The newly
announced Flight Stream 510 is a small, patented Wi-Fi® and
Bluetooth®-enabled MultiMediaCard (MMC) that enables communication
between the GTN™ 650/750 series and two compatible Apple or Android
mobile devices operating Garmin Pilot. Wi-Fi connectivity is
specifically for Database Concierge wireless database transfer and
Bluetooth allows for a wide variety of additional capabilities,
including flight plan transfer.
With Flight Stream 510 and a GSR 56 datalink, customers can also
pair an Apple mobile device operating Garmin Pilot to the GTN to
access text and voice services enabled by a GSR 56 datalink2. While
in-flight and on the ground, pilots can quickly send and receive
text messages and initiate phone calls on an Apple mobile device
within the app. Customers can easily incorporate wireless
technology into their aircraft with Garmin Pilot, the GTN 650/750
and Flight Stream 510, as no wiring changes or complex installation
considerations are required. Flight Stream 510 wirelessly transfers
the following databases to the GTN: Jeppesen NavData or the new
Garmin Navigation Database, Obstacles, Terrain, SafeTaxi®,
FliteCharts and Basemap.
Garmin Pilot 8.4 for Apple mobile devices and 5.4 for Android
will both be available later this week. For new customers, Garmin
Pilot is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
as a free download for the first 30 days. After the 30-day trial
