While at EAA AirVenture 2015, ANN News Editor, Tom Patton, delved into the issue of the Garmin Pilot app. He met up with the Director of Aviation Aftermarket Sales for Garmin, Jim Alpiser.
Alpiser reminds Tom that the Garmin Pilot app is available for both iOS and android devices. During the discussion he gives an overview of the operation of the app and our videographer catches it all. He starts out by providing examples of flight planning and then moves to the map screen to demonstrate various functions.
As he taps around the easy-to-use menu, he points out that by adding on the Garmin GDL 39 portable ADS-B receiver you can display ADS-B In information; this would include weather and traffic information.
Alpiser also spent some time talking about the new logbook feature built into the app. It seems we are not only moving to a paperless cockpit, we are also headed to a paperless logbook. This video not only provides information about the Garmin Pilot app for someone who is shopping for an app that suits their purpose, it’s a pretty good review for those that already have the app.
