Lucy’s Logbook: An inside look at the latest version of Garmin Pilot for iOS
T
emporary Flight Restrictions (TFR’s) are now easier to identify, too. Using a color-coded display on Garmin Pilot, active TFR’s are displayed in red, future TFR’s will be yellow, and those in blue designate a stadium-specific TFR. Furthermore, the full text version of each TFR is now available, giving pilots the ability to fully-understand each restriction during and prior to it being active.
To assist our customers who are filing flight plans into and out of Washington D.C. airspace, Garmin Pilot now offers the ability to file into SFRA (Special Flight Rules Area) airspace. Within the ‘Trip Planning’ page, select ‘Type’ as it relates to the type of flight plan. Three types of flight plans will be available: VFR, IFR, and SFRA. Provide the appropriate entry or exit point within the SFRA flight plan and Garmin Pilot will do the rest!
Some helpful in-fight features have also been added in the upper-right hand corner of the main Garmin Pilot screen. Touch the ‘Tools’ icon to lock and adjust screen brightness, add an alert based on time or location, or utilize a stop watch. An alert such as ‘Switch fuel tanks’ every 30 minutes for example, will ensure nothing is overlooked while in flight. The stopwatch conveniently appears at the top center of the screen, allowing pilots to see elapsed time during a missed approach or hold without cluttering the display.
As Garmin Pilot continues to take flying to the next level, it’s no surprise those behind the development are software engineers, meteorologists, and pilots. When a product is used by its own developers in the cockpit, our customers can rest assured that Garmin Pilot will continue to be feature-rich for many years to come!
