Customers who have a GDL 88 ADS-B datalink or GDL 69/69A SiriusXM datalink may also take advantage of the benefits of wireless connectivity with Flight Stream 110. When Flight Stream is paired with the GDL 88, ADS-B traffic and weather is wirelessly transferred and displayed within Garmin Pilot. Expanded functionality of the GDL 69/69A is available when incorporating a Flight Stream, which displays SiriusXM aviation weather on a tablet or phone utilizing Garmin Pilot. Remote control of SiriusXM satellite radio is also available with a free version of Garmin Pilot, including the ability to make channel selections, adjust volume controls, as well as the option to save favorite audio channels.
Adding to the wireless versatility of the Flight Stream 110/210, GPS location information from the GTN and GNS WAAS navigators or GDL 88 with an internal WAAS receiver, can be shared to display precise position information for use within Garmin Pilot. Flight Stream 210 also contains an internal attitude sensor, which provides back-up attitude information for display within Garmin Pilot. With a future software update, high-integrity attitude information from a G500/ G600 flight display can take priority to display back-up attitude and heading information.
Flight Stream 210 is available immediately for a list price of $999 and the Flight Stream 110 is available for a list price of $549. Corresponding software for the GTN and GNS WAAS series is also available as a free upgrade from Garmin Authorized Dealers (installation charges may apply).

FltPlan Adds Multiple, Customizable FRATs
FltPlan announced that it has enhanced its Safety Management System program by adding multiple FRATs (Flight Risk Assessment Tools) that are customizable for both a flight department’s operation and its different aircraft as well.
The addition of multiple FRATs is the latest new feature added to FltPlan’s Safety Management System (SMS), a systematic approach to managing the day to day hazards and risks associated with running a safe flight operation. The ability to incorporate multiple FRATs allows users to develop the most effective SMS for their organization.
The company says it recognizes that each flight department has different needs, based on the aircraft they fly and a multitude of other factors, such as their geographical location, and the type of flying that they do. Its goal is to provide maximum flexibility to SMS customers and they believe that the multiple FR AT feature is an important component to its practical approach to SMS.
FltPlan’s SMS integrates with a user’s account for easy entry and retrieval of weather briefings, navigational logs and FR ATs for flights entered by its flight department. All records and documents can be stored on FltPlan’s secure servers, accessible online by everyone on a user’s team, or to show inspectors, from anywhere in the world.
