VALUE KA ADDED
Automated Logbook
Integrated within
Garmin Pilot, logbook
provides pilots with
an automatic and
convenient way to
maintain a consistent
log of their flights, while
accessing in-flight
navigation information
within one application.
While on takeoff roll,
Garmin Pilot detects a
change in airspeed and
altitude, which initiates
the logbook function
to automatically begin
recording. Pertinent
information such as date, duration, total flight time, route and the number of flight segments are automatically recorded and logged within Garmin Pilot, creating a provisional logbook entry for the pilot to review and accept. Pilots may modify the provisional log entries or manually add flight information into the logbook as needed. Additional data fields may also be manually entered to specify aircraft type and identifier, hobbs
and tachometer times, as well as pilot-in-command, solo, cross-country, actual and simulated instrument flight time. For added reassurance, the logbook data is automatically stored on the flyGarmin website, as well as within the Garmin Pilot application. Likewise, logbook entries made within flyGarmin are also saved and synced within Garmin Pilot.
Logbook provides even more opportunities for record keeping, including a tab for pilot certificate and currency endorsements. Within the Garmin Pilot application, flight instructors and other designated authorities may document flight reviews, Instrument Proficiency Checks (IPC), pre-solo knowledge test sign-offs and more. Logbook also provides pilots with quick and easy access to flight currency information. A dedicated currency tab identifies FAA, EASA and TCCA day/night and instrument currency types so pilots can quickly reference whether or not, for example, they are current to fly passengers or at night. For easy reference, logbook automatically generates a report to display past flight information by day, month and year.
Nearest Navigation Feature
Now included at the top of the main menu, Garmin Pilot incorporates nearest navigation functionality to give pilots the option to locate the closest airport, NAVAID, intersection, user waypoint and more, relative to their location. Pilots can also quickly locate Visual Reporting Points (VRPs), Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs) and their associated frequencies, as well as nearest airspace for added situational awareness. To assist with the decision-making process, pilots are provided with a ruler line that identifies the selected airport on the moving map, as well as course and distance information relative to the location of their aircraft.

In addition to these new capabilities, Garmin Pilot calculates and displays density altitude information on the weather tab within the airport page. This calculation is automatically displayed within Garmin Pilot so pilots can view at-a-glance, density altitude data, which is critical to aircraft performance. An enhanced distance- measuring tool has also been modified to allow for easier use and functionality within the moving map page.
