The Garmin Pilot app performs exceptionally well reliable, intuitive, and packed with features tailored for pilots. From flight planning to weather and navigation, it handles everything smoothly. A top rated tool for a reason, truly great for both student and professional pilots.

Startup screen has all green checks ( complete ) ~ but never count get past it to use App After many trouble just deleted it

We need an airport comment section for users (like on ForeFlight). Sometimes weather is slow to load in the airport section. I love the data transfer w/ my Garmin panel.

Long over due. Love the new Pilot Web just wish we had this years ago. Thanks Garmin team! Future feature: It would be great if users could view InReach data such and bread crumbs and tracks here. That would be a great safety function for tracking flights especially in remote areas.

This app is what I use on my iPad but when it comes to using it on my phone, it’s complete garbage. It will force close constantly always at random. You can be flying along following the magenta line and next thing you know, it closed. If you are trying to set up a route or make changes or do anything that requires it to “think” it force closes. You cannot build a plan on your phone in any sort of reliable manner. Please fix your iPhone app. I have stopped recommending Garmin Pilot to my flight students because of this.

Garmin continues to add features and improvements to their GP app. Overall this is a very good product. I can only imagine the complexities behind the curtain. This being said, app still drops off line regularly, especially when connected with a 510 card inside the nxi or 3000. I do really like the availability of charts to any airport being at your fingertips. I am still having trouble loading aircraft into the garmin database , as I did this past weekend when operating out of KVGT. The database will not accept my entry due to it not matching some pattern based on aircraft home base location. This is Extremely annoying. Also, when I enter a garmin visual approach as are in the garmin database, the approach will not show up on my iPad, even though my iPad is joined with the 510, or the gdl60. Visual approach courses need to show up on the display as this is a matter of orientation and safety. Please address this issue. Thank you for your dedication.

A bit les user friend than other apps

I have been using Garmin Pilot for over 3 years. Overall I have absolutely loved it, especially with my ability to use on both my Samsung Tablet and Samsung Phone (great for the smaller seat on the DA42), but recently I got an iPad and now I love it even more. I mostly appreciate the fact that Garmin Pilot is the same interface as the Garmin equipped aircraft I fly, be it the GNS 430, or the G1000. From a “compare and contrast” standpoint, my understanding is that it is incredibly similar to ForeFlight, except for the direct Garmin integration and interface. I love that it directly connects to my GDL ADSB receiver that I stick on the window. Admittedly the Android version was a bit more limited in feature sets, and I definitely admire the capabilities on the iOS version, but it is clear that the Android version is quickly catching up. For me, any software that can reliably and seamlessly work across popular platforms is a hands down win. Most importantly, and perhaps the biggest win of all, has been the EXCELLENT responsive customer service from Garmin. They had a few issues about 6 months ago with a major update, and before I could get too frustrated, a simple email to their support had it resolved within a few days, with direct communication from their support engineers. They guided me through the steps to send them more detailed logs, and I got personal, valuable, and excellent service to make right what went wrong. Simply put, Garmin Pilot is perfect for my aviation journey as I advance into my CFI instruction, be it Android or iOS, it is simply excellence.

Consistantly flight planning and finding gross errors with winds aloft in the below 10,000 ranges. Flight tonight, fcst winds were a 2 knot tailwind. Had 40kt headwind for an hour. Used 5.6 gallons more. Almost an unplanned fuel stop. Unfortunately, these errors are frequent. When is Digital ATIS ? Jepp has had it for 5 years+

The weather imagery needs a major overhaul. With all the imagery available from the national weather service, the storm prediction center and the aviation weather center they give you just a small amount to make no decision whatsoever. They also include other countries that aren’t needed when flying in the US. The pilot should only have or need the countries that they are resident in and able to download the other countries if needed. The competition has much better imagery, and I use it instead of Garmin pilots.
