Adding to the lineup of features, pilots will now also receive Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR’s) while in flight via their GDL 39 receiver. When selecting any particular TFR on the moving-map page, a box populates with additional information relating to that specific TFR, detailing dates and altitudes. In addition to TFR’s, the GDL 39 also displays and receives METARS, TAF’s, radar information, winds and temperatures aloft, NOTAMS, and PIREPS while in flight. 

Lastly, updating to version 4.3 will also allow Garmin Pilot to utilize the WAAS GPS from the GDL 39, greatly improving your position accuracy. With an update rate of five times per second, you can rest (or fly!) easy knowing that Garmin Pilot is displaying your precise location with the accuracy of the latest Garmin technology. 

So whether you already have your hands on the iPad mini, or you have another compatible iOS device, be sure you download the latest update of Garmin Pilot to fully experience all of the great benefits it brings to your cockpit.
