- This video is the first in a series that covers features of Garmin Pilot 10.0. This Flight Planning video describes the all-new method of entering flight plans and instrument procedures in Garmin Pilot.
Nice video. Please do more tutorials like this so that we can take advantage of the full application and new features before and during the flight.
Thank you! I’ve passed your feedback along to the appropriate team. ^DK
Glad to finally (!) see GP catch up on very important functionality! The FPL/PROC disparity was the single most annoying (and truly bizarre) issue that kept me from using GP. Since your EFB has great differentiating features like EMER, split view, widgets and the really amazing (although still kind of slow and unstable) flight profile view I can finally see myself making the switch from FF. Can't wait to try out v10!
This is the update I've been waiting for. I thought I would have to get Foreflight simply for the procedures feature. Just updated, and its perfect. My life is now complete!
How did you update? Version 10 does not show up in the App Store on my iPad.
That’s fantastic news; thank you for taking the time to share! Because of the significant increase in feature set and capability, we’ve chosen to roll this out gradually. However, you can download it sooner!
To do this, please visit the Apple app store and search for Garmin Pilot. Once you select the Garmin Pilot app from the store, an ‘Update’ button should appear next to the app icon.
Enjoy! ^DK
@8:42 I see a few CAP planes in that flight list. :D I’m the ACM for CAP2059. Thank you Garmin for all the hard work on this app. It is amazing! One suggestion: could you add a way to enter waypoints with MGRS coordinates? There have been a few times when I’ve been given a tasking, usually an additional task while flying, to go to a waypoint and the guard gives it in MGRS.
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words and feedback. We are familiar with that standard, we recently implemented MGRS in the GTN panel-mounted navigator product line. I have shared your feedback with the Garmin Pilot team for consideration. Thank you for being a Garmin customer!

I downloaded this over 3 Weeks ago. Corona virus upswing, bad Weather and lack flight time put a crush on trying this App. I don't think I'll be using this Garmin app until Spring. I did Subscribe and clicked the bell for all your videos anyway.
Sorry to hear you’re unable to fly, but I’m glad this video helped you keep a little more current. ^DK
I bought Pilot so I didn't have to buy an iPad even though EVERY other pilot I know uses Foreflight. Figured I'd give GP a chance. Now I wonder if they put iOS ahead of Android. I'm still trying to figure out how to record a flight without actually setting up a whole trip. Can't I press "record" or something then take off?
We are in the exact same boat. I did not want Apple so FF was off the map for me. Now I feel like Garmin treats me as a second class citizen. I am really angry that I spent all the money on a GDL-51 but I still can't get synthetic vision.
Thanks for giving it a try! To automatically log your flights, make sure it is enabled. Reference page 44, in this Pilot’s Guide to help. ms.spr.ly/6056Tb7wp Thanks for being a Garmin customer!

We appreciate your interest in Garmin Pilot. To add your logbook to flyGarmin and Garmin Pilot, visit flyGarmin.com and login with the same credentials as your Garmin Pilot account. Once logged in, go to the Logbook tab and then the Setup tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Import and Export section and select Import from Spreadhseet. The instructions walk you through how to get your logbook into flyGarmin and Garmin Pilot.
I personally did this sometime ago and have been keeping my logbook in Garmin Pilot ever since. It did take a little elbow grease, but you’ll certainly get the time back over time. I realized the simplicity at my next annual insurance renewal. You can quickly sum hours by almost any attribute in your logbook by a selected time period. So understanding how many hours you have in a complex aircraft over the past year is just a couple taps away as opposed to going through each page of your logbook tabulating the hours manually- it’s awesome! I hope this helps.

Great work Garmin 👍
Excellent Video
Why the Android version does not look anywhere close to this?! This is a rip-off!!! You can't charge the same for a subpar product. Show some respect for Android users.
Currently evaluating Garmin Pilot (switching from SkyDemon) due to more IFR flying, but I miss a lot of features I see in those videos here. Also I can only find Version 7.4.2 in the Google Play Store - how can I get Version 10!? There seems to be even no way to file an IFR flight plan (including auto-routing) in Europe so far (which would be the main point to switch from Sky Demon)...
Thank you for your feedback. Currently, v10 is available for iOS. The Garmin Pilot team is actively working on European IFR autorouting for Android. We plan to make this available yet this summer. Thank you for considering Garmin.
^DK
@@garminaviation Slowly it does not feel like summer anymore ;-) - is there any ETA for the IFR auto-routing for Android now?
Thank you for the follow-up; this was included in v7.5 that was released in early August. Here are the release notes: static.garmincdn.com/apps/pilot/android/release-notes/7.5.0-4e345dddf1747281e8a14557464eef86/
To take advantage of this feature, you need to add it to the available service providers in Trip Planning. To do this go to Settings > Pilot Info > (choose pilot) > Click the gear icon > Ensure Eurocontrol IFR Filing Service is listed here. If not, add it and Save the Pilot Profile.

Really hope garmin pilot overtakes foreflight one of these days. I get having multiple eco systems but when a vast majority of our GPS nav systems are by garmin, it only makes sense to use their pilot app for ease of use
OMG FINALLLLLYYYY 4:08 Thank you guys
Thank you for the app! I am new to it and am thinking of ditching foreflight. I really like the in app split screen along with other features. that being said, when will the next videos come out? All the other Garmin Pilot app tutorials are outdated and some done even apply anymore! Really looking forward to them.
Hi, thank you so much for watching and considering Garmin. We just released some new features and capabilities that we produced a video for that can be found here: ms.spr.ly/6054Tcib0
Additionally, we offer regular webinars to help get you up to speed. There is one coming up on June 17 that you can register for here: ms.spr.ly/6055TcibF
We also recorded the last webinar we did as well for reference sooner: ms.spr.ly/6056Tcib2 - just enter the requested information to view at your pleasure.
I’ve also passed on your feedback to the team to help us create more content. Thanks again for the feedback!
Waiting for version 10
Is there a weight and balance set-up tutorial for Garmin Pilot?
Yes; this is a little dated, but I believe it is generally still applicable: ms.spr.ly/6055TWOHh
I’d also encourage you to attend some of the webinars on Garmin Pilot we’re planning this week during the Garmin Virtual AirVenture Oshkosh Experience, more here: Garmin.com/OSH2020
Thank you for being a loyal Garmin customer!

Consider adding support for the Stratux (ADS-B and AHRS) and I'll consider switching to Garmin Pilot.
Thank you for the feedback; I’ve shared it with the team for consideration. ^DK
Now hang on. When I select LOAD after adding an approach to my destination the destination airport jumps up,into the Route field. The approach does load but then I have to remove the destination from the route. Otherwise it doesn’t show correctly on the map. What’s going on? I’m trying to follow this step by step on an iPad Air 2 version 10.2.8.
The process demonstrated in the video loads the approach. To navigate the approach, it needs to be activated. In your flight plan, next to the approach that was loaded, select Actions --> Activate Approach. This will begin navigation to the first waypoint, the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) in the procedure. If you're given vectors, you'll select Activate Vector-to-Final. Thank you for being a loyal Garmin Pilot subscriber. If you have additional questions, please reach out to GPFeedback@garmin.com.
Wow! This is quite an update for IFR. So when are we going to be able to file /Golf using these?
Thanks; we agree! These features are awesome! There are a lot of reasons why you want to continue trusting your installed/certified panel-mounted GPS in your aircraft to fly in IMC.
For example, there are quite a few tests we conduct to help ensure we design the product to perform in a variety of environmental factors that you may encounter while flying in IMC. Thank you for being a Garmin customer!

I’m not getting wind info at all. How do I do it ?
When will it be released for download?
Thanks for your interest; we’re excited about it too! Because of the significant increase in feature set and capability, we’ve chosen to roll this out gradually.
However, you can download it sooner! To do this, please visit the Apple app store and search for Garmin Pilot. Once you select the Garmin Pilot app from the store, an ‘Update’ button should appear next to the app icon. Enjoy!

I am trying to find out how to do auto routing but can't seem to be able to find it. If I put KHOT to KFMY there should be a way to do an auto route via vor, victor airways, direct, etc. If I click on the routing tab it brings up previous flights,,,,, all above fl270 ( I am planning a flight in a 172) and all pretty much direct. If Garmin pilot can't do auto routing it isn't very useful for my purposes. Do I have to go to AOPA.com/tripplanner to plan a trip (which does routing), then redo it waypoint per waypoint on the ipad? That's too much work.
I am an AOPA member and just did some planning with the tool on their website. Garmin Pilot has similar tools to help speed the flight planning process within Garmin Pilot. From the Flight Plan page, in the upper right-hand corner there is a Routing button, which provides options to filter other aircraft that have filed routes between the departure and destination airport provided in Garmin Pilot. If you’d like to create your own route quickly, select procedures on either the departure/destination airports to load a SID/STAR and you can pull up a IFR sectional to connect those with the desired airways. I’m fairly spoiled here in the Midwest, we’re typically cleared direct. 😊
Garmin Aviation you talked around the issue but didn’t actually address my question. I asked about a specific route and said what the problem is and you either didn’t read the whole post or didn’t want to say that Garmin Pilot won’t do an auto route like I asked. I believe your answer should have been NO it won’t do an auto route using cot or victor routes unless someone else has previously Done the flight plan and if not I would need to manually input each waypoint. I wish companies would be up front and just say no our product won’t do what you are asking At this point. Especially when an actual routing example is provided.
Good video Thank you
How many devices can I download the Garmin Pilot app on with my subscription?
A single Garmin Pilot subscription can power up to any combination of 3 total iOS and Android devices. Thank you for being a Garmin customer! ^DK
Garmin simply IGNORES the fact that the Android version of Garmin Pilot is NOT supported by ANY of the tutorials or HELP! The Android Version is like the forgotten Step Child who's even existence is barely mentioned. And the Program is VERY Different, with No little help! How can you even Pretend that these tutorials will help Android users?
From what I know of programming, and I have GP on both android and iPad, management seems to have royally screwed up early on. Basically, it looks like they took the quick halfassed route and developed the the first versions of the app with superficially easy proprietary languages rather than building a solid C++ foundation (which compiles for basically any platform ever made), and now they are backed into a corner where they need to maintain two separate parallel code bases or invest huge money to hire a C++ team to totally rewrite it from scratch(long term return, but hurts the short term dividends).
596 I cannot get my Garmin to power on can you help?
How do i activate the flight plan? i have created everything including the routes?
We need additional details to help with your request. Please contact GPFeedback@garmin.com. Thank you for being a loyal Garmin customer.
ok, you show depictions of SIDS and STARS, how about IAPs?
You bet we do! It loads the complete procedure, including any published procedure turns, approach fixes, and holds. We even curve the fly-by waypoints -- it’s awesome! Download it from the Apple App Store to give it a try for yourself. It’s free for the first 30 days. Enjoy!
^DK
Garmin pilot, android version, does not have an option to load approaches to a flight plan from the ap. Only stars and sids. No graphic of starsand sids available either. @garminaviation
Ok, but how can I install V10 if the last available version in 8????
Hi Juliano, v10 references the iOS version that released these features. Android is currently at v8, though most of the capabilities mentioned in this video are available in the latest version of Android. Thank you for being a loyal Garmin Pilot subscriber.
@@garminaviation Thanks for your answer, but if you are then only option for Android and don't prioritize Android in such a way that you still 2 generations behind, what motivates me to not buy an iPad and change to ForeFlight?
Hi Juliano, thank you for your candid feedback. I have shared this with the team.
how to insert grid coordinates in garmin pilot app ?
This does not look anything like Garmin Pilot on Android. Is Garmin really that much out of sync between the 2 platforms? Ouch...
garmin pilot no attitude information why
Garmin Pilot can accept an attitude source from several compatible products like the GDL 52 series portables. Once attitude information is available, Garmin Pilot can display attitude on a dedicated Synthetic Vision page. Thank you for considering Garmin.
You have to change the column headings in flight plan by touching the heading and select altitude.
For those of you complaining about Android versions, as an app developer on both platforms, Android is a good bit more difficult to deal with. I am honestly shocked that Garmin spends the time and money to keep that app up to date at all. The ipad, whether you like Apple or not, is a much better platform for handling something as important as our flight bags. I wouldn't begin to consider doing any of it on Android. Also, if that is the only reason you chose Garmin Pilot then I'm a little surprised. Garmin Pilot (especially with this latest release) is just as capable as foreflight and actually contains features you won't get in Foreflight. I've been a Foreflight user since 2015 and am honestly looking at switching to GP for a number of reasons. I'm excited to see the new version, so quit teasing us Garmin and release it already. :-)
You sure are surprised a lot. Why would anyone pay three or more times more for Apple? Because it is easier for programmers? That is not how it works. Now I am surprised that Garmin is catering to 6% of the pad/phone marketplace instead the of the 94%. It is not a good business decision to focus your efforts on 6% and ignore the 94%.
@@I_know_you_are_right_however Heck, they make more money off us because the Apple store takes such a big cut off the top.
Hi Glenn, I opened the Garmin Pilot description on the Ipad appstore, and found that there I was able to update to version 10 ( it seems it is a Beta version) sorry for my poor english.. Regards from Argentina. Dario
If they had built proper technical capital by using C++ (Which compiles on both, as well as all desktop OS's), they would only have one codebase to maintain, but it's clear they took the proprietary fools' route and will be paying for it for the forseeable future.
