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 Active FPL Page do not become the active trip
plan. The Active FPL 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.
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 flyGarmin 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.
Trips can be cloned and/or deleted on the Trip Planning Page. Cloning a trip copies
the current trip. Any changes made after the clone is created are not copied. Trips can
also be deleted by swiping left or right on the trip title in the Trips list. The selected
trip (highlighted in blue) can not be deleted. Cloned trips are saved in the Trips List.
All trip data is cloned including pilot information, aircraft information, route of flight
and all other associated data. Trips that have been cloned are available for use at a
future date. Activate a cloned trip, change the date and all applicable data, refresh the
briefing, and the trip is ready to be filed.
