Print binder

Frankenplane — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 10:36:34 GMT

Hi there

I am used to the workflow in Foreflight to plan my flight with a binder. I put in that binder all plates for:

Departure: Taxi diagram, planned SID

Destination: planned STAR, planned/most likely approaches, VFR plate, taxi diagram

Alternate: most likely approaches, taxi diagram

Then I print all of it (at once!) as one PDF file. I use this as backup or print on paper.

My question is, does Garmin Pilot allow printing an entire binder with select plates too? Couldn't find this option yet.

If not possible: This is a feature request. 🙂 Thank you!

G1000NXi connects to iPad with Garmin Pilot via Bluetooth but will not make Wifi connection for Database transfers.

How do I make the G1000NXi connect to Garmin Pilot on an iPad with Wifi.

Garmin Pilot Web sync with ipad

4117911 — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 00:05:07 GMT

Is Garmin Pilot Web app and Garmin Pilot tablet supposed to seemlessly sync? Mine does not despite checking versions, logging off both devices and logging back in. Only my android device syncs with the web app, ipad does not. My logbook does sync.

How to center on aircraft

9354473 — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:16:05 GMT

The "center on aircraft" control places the current aircraft position near the bottom of the iPad screen (at least in portrait mode). I want it to be in the center like the description of the "center of aircraft" control states. How can I do this?

I did something wrong, and now my Garmin Pilot isn't giving me accurate estimates for all the positions in the flight plan. What should I do?

Where are AIP contents like GEN ENR AD?

Frankenplane — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 17:20:05 GMT

Hi everyone

I am a Pilot in Europe and can't find any AIP parts like GEN, ENR, etc. in Garmin Pilot. Where in the app can I find these?

This is very important to me, because there is a different country in an hour flight time in any direction...

Thank you!

Sending Route from Garmin APP to GTN750

2087898 — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 15:22:24 GMT

Hello,

I have a strange problem. I'm using the Garmin Pilot app on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 and want to connect it to my GTN 750 in the aircraft via Flightstream. The connection always works perfectly. Everything I enter on the GTN 750 immediately appears in my app as an "update." I can confirm it and see the route on my tablet.

However, I haven't yet figured out why it sometimes fails and sometimes doesn't. I plan a route with Autorouter, receive a PDF, and click the link in the PDF to send it to the Garmin Pilot app. That works, too. I see the route on my tablet. However, I have no way to send it to the aircraft via Connext. The "send" button is simply grayed out. Even restarting the tablet doesn't change anything. If I then enter something directly on the GTN 750, I immediately receive an update on the tablet.

How is this possible?

Thanks!

Garmin Pilot not preserving checklist progress

8494679 — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 13:05:54 GMT

I am running Garmin Pilot on an iPad Mini 6th Gen (version 26.2). The app is on the latest version (25.12.2)

I'm having an issue where GP won't preserve my checklist progress after I switch to another part of the app and come back to checklists. All progress is reset as if starting new.

I've tried closing the app in the app switcher, soft-resetting the iPad, hard-resetting the iPad to no avail.

Any thing else I can try?

Piper Warrior checklist

Rick — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 01:35:27 GMT

New to Garmin Pilot and trying to create a new aircraft. I used the Piper Warrior aircraft template. Fuel, W&B, Performance all came across great, but it will not import anything for checklists. I tried editing the aircraft after it was created, going to the checklists tab, and import from aircraft, but it won't let me put a checkmark beside checklists. What am I doing wrong?

Garmin Pilot download problems

8436508 — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 19:53:05 GMT

I like Garmin Pilot, but I'm close to just using Foreflight going forward due to Garmin's longstanding issues with slow database downloads. Garmin can blame the end users all they want, but the problem is well known, widely reported and unresolved. When does Garmin plan to get serious about addressing the problem?

Is there a good way to create or import check lists?

jrmlong — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 15:35:52 GMT

Am I missing something on making this easier? It is very tedious to do from a mobile device, it would be much easier to do from a computer.

It also seems like a missing opportunity for community contributions to create a repository of checklists, potentially even manufacturer submitted/verified for newer aircraft.

Icing layer issues with GPilot Web

Michael Reamy — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:47:24 GMT

Is a fix in the works for GPilot Web concerning it misinterpreting the icing forecast raw gridded binary files; swapping Trace & Severe/Extreme?

I have several screenshot samples of Web iOS in conflict, but unable to upload the images. I use AWC Icing as the tie breaker and GPilot iOS is correct.

The misidentification is easy to understand as to how an error in programing could occur in that v2 of the table added intensities, those additions, the numeric values did not represent the intensity scale of icing.

GRIBv2 Code Table 4.207

Code Figure	Meaning
0	None
1	Light
2	Moderate
3	Severe
4	Trace
5	Heavy
6-191	Reserved
192-254	Reserved for Local Use
255	Missing

Bug: App crash when selecting altitude and departure is outside forecast range

3714205 — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 14:35:07 GMT

Not sure if this is the best place to report bugs. If not, the proper place is not easily found.

The Garmin Pilot app crashes when attempting to select an altitude in a flight where the departure date is seemingly outside the available wind forecast range.

To reproduce: enter flight plan route; in details tab, select a departure date some days in the future (4 in my case), then attempt to change altitude. The app crashes when the altitude field is tapped.

Garmin Pilot v25.7.1 on Android.

How do I make Garmin Pilot follow the Flight Plan? I tried to push the AP button, but that just made the aircraft circle. I am flying the Skyhawk with the G1000 NXi screens.

AIP documents an not be downloaded and used in Garmin Pilot app

5329783 — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 16:07:39 GMT

Hello,

when I want to view the AIP files the download is not starting - the future was working in the past but now I can not access the AIP documents in Garmin Pilot. How can this be solved?

Thank you and best regards

Ability to export garmin checklist, edit it on mac and import it back into the app

4758911 — Mon, 12 May 2025 19:45:11 GMT

Hi,

I’ve been trying to export a checklist to edit it on my Mac, but I haven’t found a way to do it. The only file I get is a .gplts file, which I can’t open with any known editor.

Is it possible to do this?

I have some aircraft checklists in .ace format, and I’d like to edit the Garmin Pilot ones to avoid doing everything manually. After editing, I’d like to import them back into the app. Is that possible?

I saw that some time ago this could be done via the website, but that option doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Was that functionality removed?

Best regards,
Guillermo

Garmin Pilot Flight Plan Hardcopy

JDWorks — Fri, 02 May 2025 17:30:33 GMT

Until a recent software revision, Garmin Pilot sent an email with a concise one page rendering of each filed flight plan in the traditional format that pilots have ben used to for many decades. I have routinely printed a hardcopy of the emailed flight plan as backup to the electronic version on my iPad. Now we get an email with a four page summary(!) of the flight plan with lots of open spaces (e.g. the 2nd page is almost entirely blank) and additional information that is relatively useless (e.g., wake turbulence category, second in command, alternate call sign, etc.). So I have to print out 4 pages to get a copy of the flight plan. Please revert to the prior concise version which contains all of the information needed; or at least make that an option.

Also, on the new version of the emailed flight plan I notice that it indicates Cruise Speed = 321 (kts?).. That's about 65 kts above the max airspeed of my JetProp. Time enroute seems to be correct, so I'm sure the Garmin Pilot program is not using 321 kts to calculate cruise time!

Thanks for your attention to these issues.

Love the app, which I have been using since launched!

Airstrips no longer showing in Android

4250571 — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:36:05 GMT

I'm a GA pilot based in Nairobi Kenya. I downloaded Pilot on my android Pixel 7a. It worked great and showed both airports and airstrips. Recently, I opened the app and all of the airstrips no longer show. I can't find the solution on my own. Any idea?

Errors While Filing Trip

dbrobert — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 21:58:10 GMT

I am running into an intermittent error when trying to file an IFR flight plan, though I am seeing the error more often now; after pressing the "FILE" button there is an immediate pop-up that reports "Errors While Filing Trip -- Timeout while waiting for request". This happens on various WiFi networks (all with good coverage/signal) and also over 5G mobile data. I am filing flight plans within Canada and have a valid subscription for Canada (Standard + Premium Upgrade) and the Subscriptions page within settings shows this as such and am filing IFR using the Leidos Filing Service.

My device particulars:

Garmin PIlot: version 24.8.0

Platform: Android 14 (stable, non-beta stream)

Device: Google Pixel 8
