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

Ratings and reviews

I have used Garmin handheld aviation GPS devices for many years, and moved on to Garmin Pilot when the app first became available. The Android app has been largely ignored as updates go, and some features have disappeared from my account. My Android phone app doesn't have my synced aircraft or user waypoints, or successful connectivity to any Garmin GTX345 transponders since early in 2025. The iPad iOS works fine, most of the time. When the iOS app has a bug, they fix it somewhat regularly.

I've used this app for years, as I'm an Android user, and while it's never as smooth and easy as foreflight it's been excellent. However, a few months? ago it completely stopped saving my pilot profile and other things, which breaks half the functionality unless you enter it every single time you want to do anything. For example you can't get a briefing or file a flight plan unless you re-enter your pilot information every. single. time. It's made it borderline useless for planning.

Doesn't save anything anymore. I've used this app on Android for the past year as a student pilot, and things were fine for the first few months. now, I can't save any planned trips, aircraft and pilots have to be re-entered every single time I plan a flight, and it doesn't seem to transfer any of that data to the online servers for my iPad to see. I don't get what the issue is, but it is not working properly on Android as it should be. highly disappointed
