Companies Say Single Aircraft Pricing Structure Simplifies
Database Purchase
Garmin and Jeppesen have rolled out PilotPak, a new bundle
pricing program for databases on select Garmin panel mount
avionics. The companies say PilotPak provides a more
affordable single aircraft pricing structure and simplifies the
database purchase process by offering a "one-stop shop
experience."
“Garmin and Jeppesen are continuing to make it easier and
more affordable for pilots to keep their aviation databases
up-to-date,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s vice president
of marketing, in a news release Tuesday. “We know that pilots
depend on these databases for safety and convenience, and
we’re pleased to work together to offer customers a single
and comprehensive purchase and support solution.”
The databases have been bundled into several different
packages
PilotPak provides all the databases within the selected package
to be used with any combination of GTN, G600, G500, G500H and G3X
installed in one aircraft, all for a single annual price. Each
bundle option includes Garmin’s popular SafeTaxi, Obstacle,
Terrain and Airport Directory, and customers are able to choose
between bundle options that include Jeppesen NavData, Jeppesen
JeppView and/or Garmin FliteCharts.
With a PilotPak Standard Americas subscription, a pilot can
enjoy 20 percent savings on databases for a single GTN or 60
percent savings with the inclusion of a G500 when compared to
purchasing annual subscriptions to each database individually. When
Garmin’s FliteCharts are included, the savings on databases
for a single GTN 750 amount to over 30 percent and when combined
with a G500, the customer saves over 70 percent.
Whether a pilot has one or more of the qualified avionics, they
pay a single price for the selected package.
