within the Garmin Pilot app on Apple mobile devices. Jeppesen charts can be viewed within Garmin Pilot from the charts page and in split-screen mode alongside the moving map. The global integration of this new, popular chart option alongside superior flight planning, filing and flight logging capabilities, bring Garmin Pilot customers around the world an all-inclusive, single application solution. Additionally, Garmin FliteCharts® and Jeppesen approach plates can also be overlaid on the moving map for seamless navigation, while Flight Stream 510 integration supports Database Concierge wireless database transfer capabilities. Glide range ring on Apple mobile devices and automated electronic logbook within Android add to the series of Garmin Pilot enhancements.
Jeppesen terminal charts and chart overlay for Apple mobile devices
Within the app, customers with a Jeppesen electronic chart subscription can download and save Jeppesen charts, including approach charts, arrival and departure procedures, as well as Jeppesen airway manuals. Charts can be saved in pilot-selectable binders for convenient access, which can be viewed in full-screen or split- screen mode.
Customers who utilize Jeppesen charts or Garmin FliteCharts can also take advantage of chart overlay, which displays instrument approaches on top of the moving map for optimal situational awareness when transitioning from the enroute to approach phase of flight. Depending on preference, these charts can also be viewed in track-up and north-up on the moving map. Customers with a Garmin Pilot IFR Premium subscription and an available Jeppesen electronic chart license may access Jeppesen charts within the application at no additional charge. To purchase a Jeppesen electronic chart subscription for Garmin Pilot, contact Jeppesen at (800) 621-5377.
Garmin Pilot range ring and flight plan enhancements for Apple mobile devices
Also new as part of the upgrade, Garmin Pilot offers pilots the option to display a glide range ring on the moving map within Apple mobile devices. The glide range ring is depicted as a cyan ring around the estimated area that can be reached by the aircraft in a best glide range configuration. Range is based on Best Glide (VG) speed and the glide ratio entered by the pilot within the aircraft profile, which then utilizes the aircraft’s altitude and wind to determine range ring distance. The option to shape the glide range ring for rising terrain that may interfere with the aircraft’s glide range is also available.
Additionally, pilots can now more easily modify flight plans within Garmin Pilot on Apple mobile devices by simply selecting the flight plan bar along the top of the display from any page.
