With Garmin Pilot, users can easily enter a flight plan and interactively edit it on
the map. Pre-loaded forms makes it quick to save and reuse data for frequently flown
routes. And when the flight plan is ready, Garmin Pilot make it simple to file, amend
or close the flight plan via DTC DUAT or CSC DUATS. Electronic confirmations from
DUATS meet FAA legal briefing requirements.
PREPARING TO FILE
NOTE: Prior to filing the flight plan, ensure that all of the information entered on the
Trip Planning Page is correct including the route of flight.
Garmin Pilot provides a quick and easy method to file, close, amend or cancel flight
plans. When Garmin Pilot is connected to a DUATS account, route of flight, pilot
information, aircraft information, type of flight plan (IFR/VFR), number of persons
onboard, fuel onboard, date, estimated time of departure (ETD), altitude, airspeed,
and any optional data including alternate, call sign, second in command (SIC), and
remarks are transmitted to DUATS. The flight plan details are then delivered to the
responsible Flight Service Station (FSS) 1 hour prior to the ETD. The ETD must be at
least 30 minutes in the future or the flight plan will not be transmitted. To file a flight
plan with a departure time less than 30 minutes in the future you must call the FSS.
