PLAN
Garmin Pilot's powerful capabilities start with pre-flight planning, providing pilots
with the most comprehensive aviation weather information to make better-informed
flight decisions. Pilots can check weather radar, visible and infrared cloud imagery,
METARs, TAFs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, winds and temperatures aloft,
TFRs, and lightning data. With Garmin Pilot, weather data can be overlaid on VFR
Sectionals, IFR low altitude en route charts, IFR high altitude en route charts, WAC, or
on IFR, VFR, or Roads/Borders basemaps, to visualize the weather for your route. Add
text-based weather widgets and use the exclusive NavTrack feature to view weather
information along the planned route.
ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN
The Active Flight Plan page manages the current active flight plan. Flight plans can
be created, bookmarked (stored), and reversed from the Active Flight Plan page. From
the Active Flight Plan page, flight plans can be created by one of three means. First,
touch within the route field and use the keyboard to add waypoint identifiers separated
by spaces. Second, touch the
Add Waypoint
Button in the flight plan list and use
the keyboard to enter the waypoint identifier. Or, use the map to graphically create a
flight plan.
The Active Flight Plan page allows for flight plans to be bookmarked or stored for
later use. Once Garmin Pilot and flyGarmin are linked, flight plans can be created in
Garmin Pilot or at www.fly.Garmin.com. Garmin Pilot automatically synchronizes with
flyGarmin providing easy access to all of your stored flight plans.
Creating an Active Flight Plan:
1) From any page touch > .
2)
Touch within the route field to activate the cursor.
3)
Use the keyboard to insert waypoints. Separate each waypoint with a
space.
