Garmin Pilot for Android mobile devices
Garmin Pilot on Android mobile devices incorporates weight and balance calculations into a flight plan or a saved trip, taking into account fuel burn and more. Pilots can take advantage of pre-loaded aircraft types or enter aircraft weight and balance figures manually, noting the arm, moment and station of each point from the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH). Center of gravity (CG) is easily referenced in the application relative to an active flight plan. In the event CG limits entered within the app are not loaded within the envelope, pilots receive a notification. Additionally, customized weight and balance profiles can be shared across multiple Garmin Pilot accounts.
Additional features expected to be available for Android mobile devices:
Storm cell movement displays the projected path of a storm. An orange circle paired with a line that extends from the strongest storm cells shows its potential path in 15, 30, 45 and 60-minute intervals.
If hail or tornadic activity is present, a corresponding icon will also be displayed alongside the particular storm cell line.
Pilots can also view the Area Forecast Discussion (AFD) that is disseminated in a plain-English narrative within the app.
The new D2TM Delta PX aviator watch and Garmin Pilot connect to display Pulse Oximeter1 and heart rate data in the navigation bar and within the Connext® menu. Wireless fight plan transfer to the watch is also supported by the app.
The newest release of Garmin Pilot for Apple and Android mobile devices was expected to be available at the 2018 EAA AirVenture fly-in, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, July 23-29. 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 period, customers may purchase an annual subscription of Garmin Pilot starting at $74.99. Visit www.garmin.com/ aviation for additional information.
