Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING:

Do not rely solely upon the indicators shown on the Panel Display

Pane to maneuver the aircraft.

WARNING:

The altitude displayed by Garmin Pilot™ on the Panel Page is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary signiﬁcantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the aircraft altimeter when determining or selecting aircraft altitude.

WARNING:

Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the Garmin Pilot™ must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of Garmin Pilot™ User documentation and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During ﬂight operations, carefully compare indications from Garmin Pilot™ to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

WARNING:

Garmin Pilot™ has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by Garmin Pilot™. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.

WARNING:

For safety reasons, Garmin Pilot™ operational procedures must be

learned on the ground.

WARNING:

System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of Garmin Pilot™ utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by Garmin Pilot™ can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, can become unsafe.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING:

Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.

WARNING:

Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be signiﬁcantly older than the indicated weather product age.

WARNING:

Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with in data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.

WARNING:

Do not rely solely upon the display of trafﬁc information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The trafﬁc display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft

WARNING:

Do not rely solely upon the display of trafﬁc information to accurately depict all of the trafﬁc within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, trafﬁc may be present that is not represented on the display.

NOTE:

All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of Garmin Pilot™ panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reﬂect the most current Garmin Pilot™ software and aviation databases.

NOTE:

Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and may not be updated outside of normal business hours. Conﬁrm data currency through alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR data.

Overview

ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK

This operating handbook is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to help

OverviewPlanFileFlySubscriptionsAppendicesIndex

with understanding how to use Garmin Pilot for reviewing aviation weather, airport information, creating and ﬁling ﬂight plans, and for viewing charts, maps, and navigation data in-ﬂight.

ANDROID™ TRICKS FOR PILOTS

Android tablets are offered by a variety of manufactures and features can vary widely. It is important to know the features or your individual tablet before using Garmin Pilot for navigation. Some tablets are offered with one or two connectivity options; Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + Cellular. It is also important to know which connectivity option you have before using Garmin Pilot for navigation.

There are also a few things to know about your tablets basic features and settings that will enhance your Garmin Pilot experience. These features are not hidden, but they may not be immediately apparent. To get completely familiar with your tablet and its features, it is recommended that you access the User's Guide for your tablet and/or the User's Guide for your Android version (Garmin Pilot requires Android 2.3 or later).

Some features of this application will vary between handsets and tablets. Also, the

3.0 release is only available on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and above. Devices with older versions of Android will continue to have access to Garmin Pilot 2.8.

GPS

Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving capability is optional on some Android tablets. Garmin Pilot can be used without GPS for ﬂight planning, but the navigation features will be inoperative. If your tablet does not include a GPS receiver, a Garmin GLO™ portable GPS and GLONASS receiver, or a Garmin GDL 39 or GDL 39 3D portable GPS and ADS-B receiver will be required to take advantage of the navigation features of Garmin Pilot. Alternative or third-party GPS sources known to work with Garmin Pilot are: Bad Elf, Dual Electronics XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS, and GNS 5870 MFI Bluetooth GPS receiver. Other portable GPS sources may also work with Garmin Pilot.

Overview

DISPLAY ORIENTATION

Overview Plan File Fly Subscriptions Appendices Index

Many devices have a default setting that will enable the unit to automatically rotate the display to either portrait or landscape according to which edge of the unit is facing upward. This automatic setting can be quite troublesome in the cockpit as the solidstate accelerometers are very sensitive to movement and can cause the display to rotate unexpectedly.

The primary means of enabling/disabling the rotation lock is via the Settings Menu. Your device may have other options to lock the display orientation, consult your User's Guide.

Locking Display Orientation:

Tap Settings > Display.

Tap Auto-rotate screen to select/deselect.

GLARE REDUCTION

One limitation of some devices in the cockpit, is glare. There are number of ways to mitigate the effects of this glare using aftermarket screen protectors and similar products. However, one can do reasonably well by simply adjusting the display brightness.

Adjusting Display Brightness:

Tap Settings > Display > Brightness.

Use the slider control to manually adjust the display brightness or tap Automatic brightness to select/deselect.

Or:

Within Garmin Pilot, tap Tools > Brightness located in the Navigation Bar

and use the slider control to set the desired display brightness.

NOTE:

To enable the in application brightness settings some Android devices may require disabling the "Automatic brightness" setting for the system brightness.

Overview

Garmin Pilot can be used in either portrait or landscape orientation and will respond

Overview Plan File Fly Subscriptions Appendices Index

to the Android's automatic orientation feature. The map may be displayed in either full screen or split screen in either orientation. The lower half of the display in portrait orientation or second (non-map) display in landscape orientation has four possible functions; Panel, Widgets, Charts, SafeTaxi, or Trafﬁc.

• Panel Mode is customizable and can be conﬁgured to display an instrument panel with virtual instruments to indicate GPS altitude, ground speed, vertical speed, course, and lateral deviation as well as a table with up to 15 conﬁgurable data ﬁelds for monitoring navigation data.

• Widget Mode enables a series of customizable data windows called ‘Widgets’ to be displayed. Widgets offer quick access to a variety of aviation weather products (METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft, NOTAMs, etc…) for nearby or selected airports and can also display up to 14 navigation parameters which are also conﬁgurable.

Charts, SafeTaxi, Trafﬁc when viewed in split-screen, have the same function,

navigation, and capabilities as the full screen versions of these products, just displayed in half screen.

Garmin Pilot requires a data connection for downloading maps and other data prior to

departure, but once you have downloaded everything needed for your ﬂight, it is ready to navigate. The Downloads Menu in the Garmin Pilot settings options will indicate when new downloadable data products are available upon connection to the Internet

There are three maps and four charts available for display on the Map Page. The following charts are available for viewing in the map area: Sectional TAC, WAC, IFR Low, and IFR High. Charts are high-resolution color images that resemble the paper version of the National Aeronautical Navigation Products (AeroNav) published charts. The Roads/Borders Map is a very basic map showing major roads, bodies of water, boarders and Flight Plan information. Both IFR and VFR maps are vector-based interactive maps that are populated with aeronautical information such as airports, navigation aids, airspaces, and victor airways.

AIRPORT INFORMATION

Overview Plan File Fly Subscriptions Appendices Index

Airport information is a downloadable product available free with your Garmin Pilot subscription from the Downloads section of the Settings Menu. Because Garmin Pilot will not automatically remove outdated charts, it is important to always ensure the latest Data Cycle has been downloaded prior to planning a ﬂight. The downloaded cycle number and date range for every map data product is displayed on the Downloads Page.

Finding airport information is easy with Garmin Pilot. The Home Button located at the top of the map page contains the Airport Info icon. Tapping the icon will present the Airport Information Page.

The Airport Information Page is divided into two sections. The top of the page under the control bar is a summary of airport information. Immediately below the summary are nine selectable tabs for viewing detailed airport information. View more details for select ﬁelds by tapping . The summary window contains the basic information for the selected airport such as; elevation, pattern altitude, magnetic variation, sunrise/sunset times, and fuel prices. There are also three buttons in the summary area for displaying NOTAMs, Nearby airports, or SafeTaxi (available for an additional subscription).

RADAR

Weather radar data is collected from radar sites across the United States, Canada,

OverviewPlanFileFlySubscriptionsAppendicesIndex

and select overseas locations. It is combined into a mosaic for easier display and analysis.

The radar data displayed is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and dissemination of radar images can be signiﬁcant and may not reﬂect the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use radar data to penetrate hazardous weather. Rather, use it in an early-warning capacity for predeparture evaluation.

Composite data from radar sites in the United States is shown. This data is composed of the maximum reﬂectivity from the individual radar sweeps at different tilt angles of the radar beam with respect to the ground. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level. Colors are used to identify the different echo intensities (reﬂectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels or Z). “Reﬂectivity” (designated by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ values increase as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed using colors corresponding to the dBZ values.

RADAR ABNORMALITIES

There are possible abnormalities regarding displayed radar images. Some, but not all, of those include:

• Ground clutter

• Strobes and spurious radar data

• Sun strobes (when the radar antenna points directly at the sun)

• Military aircraft deploy metallic dust (chaff) which can cause alterations in radar scans

• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows

Garmin Pilot for Android User’s Guide

190-01532-00 Rev. G

Plan

RADAR LIMITATIONS

Certain limitations exist regarding radar displays. Some, but not all, are listed for

the user’s awareness:

• Surface precipitation type is estimated with shades of blue for snow and shades of pink for indeterminate types. The actual precipitation type aloft could vary.

• Radar base reﬂectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has no information about storms directly over the site.

• Radar coverage in Canada is only available in the southern 1/4 of the country.

And when the ﬂight plan is ready, Garmin Pilot make it simple to ﬁle, cancel or close the ﬂight plan via DTC DUAT or CSC DUATS.

TRIP PLANNING

NOTE:

A data connection (i.e., Wi-Fi or cellular) is required to receive preﬂight

weather brieﬁngs, ﬁle, amend, cancel or close ﬂight plans from Garmin Pilot.

The Trip Planning Page manages all of the trip planning details for each trip. When a new trip is created and activated on the Trip Planning Page it becomes the active ﬂight plan. Flight plans created on the Flight Plan Page do not become the active trip plan. The Flight Plan must be imported to become the active trip. Trips created on the Trip Planning Page will default to a direct-to route from departure to destination. Add additional waypoints in the route ﬁeld by entering ﬁxes, Nav Aids, airway, departures, arrivals or airports. For Long or complex routes use the Flight Plan page to create the ﬂight plan and then import.

Complete the trip plan by entering pilot information, aircraft information, departure/ arrival times, altitude, airspeed, etc.. Some of the data will be auto-ﬁlled based on data from your Garmin Pilot account. Once all mandatory ﬁelds have been completed, Garmin Pilot creates a trip summary, and navlog. If Garmin Pilot has been linked to a DUATS service provider, Garmin Pilot will retrieve a DUATS Standard Weather Brieﬁng for the route of ﬂight for the Estimate Time of Departure (ETD). Since Garmin Pilot is connected to a DUATS account, ﬂight plans can also be ﬁled, amended, canceled or closed within Garmin Pilot.
