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.

Ratings and reviews

Overall I've had a good experience with the app. Like other's 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 and and back in again. (that fixed it). My biggest complaint would be the android version lags behind the IOS version. I"d give it more stores if they were in parity.

What is the point of including weather if it is so difficult to find predictions? A slide on the bottom right allows the user to look at the previous hour of weather, but what about the future?? Why not include a slide which leads to forecasted winds and weather, making it easier to plan? The menus are clunky, and the checkpoints are annoying. Please include an option to [remove all checkpoints] please. As of now, I use the aviation weather site for my flight planning, even after paying for this

I use Pilot on Android and iOS. I'm about to renew my subscription for the third time. I get that lots of folks love Foreflight, but I don't understand why. I really like the safety factor that the dual OS redundancy offers. If my iPad takes a dive during a flight, due to some bad OS update, I can pull out my Android phone and continue without disruption. Garmin has done well with this. Now, if they could just market it better, I'm confident we'd see more Foreflight defections.
