Lucy’s Logbook: Handy tools for winter flying
When connected to an XM antenna with an active XM weather subscription, the aera 510/560, the GPSMAP 696, aera 796, and G3X will display freezing levels at altitudes where icing is likely to occur. A graphical view of active Airmet’s or Sigmet’s are also available via an XM subscription, further adding to your situational awareness. Selecting a specific Airmet will identify it as Airmet Tango, Sierra, and/or Zulu and the altitudes affected.
Garmin Pilot on both Android and iOS devices can also display Airmet’s and Sigmet’s specific to icing. A graphical and textual representation can be displayed that is specific to your route of flight and is available by utilizing the ‘Widgets’ function within the application. Enabling this feature allows pilots to display ‘Winds Aloft’ and the textual description of ‘Airmets/Sigmets’ while viewing the moving map page at the same time.
While Garmin can’t supply hand warmers for those cold winter pre-flights, we know that our weather receivers and even Garmin Pilot can be a helpful solution to assist you with your flight planning, filing, and flying!
