approach. Additionally, SafeTaxi® aerodrome diagrams, as well as
IFR/VFR Charts are available. This includes enroute charts, Visual
Navigation Charts (VNC), Visual Terminal Charts (VTC), World
Aeronautical Charts (WAC) and IFR Terminal Area Charts (TAC). The
Australian PilotPak provides database updates for all compatible
avionics in a single aircraft and is available immediately on

Garmin Pilot and sent to a compatible navigator, including the GTN
650/750, GNS 430W/530W, G1000 NXi and G3X Touch. The sharing of GPS
