This works for every airport except KPOV, my home airport, which has nothing listed under the Proc tab. If I search KPOV under Airports and go to Charts, it shows the 3 approaches at KPOV and I can open the plates there, but I can't open them from the map like I can for every other airport. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for KPOV, showing that none of the approaches appear in this menu, And here's what it normally looks like, showing another nearby airport's procedures are present.iOShttps://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/442493/flight-planning-bug/2057173Thu, 27 Aug 2026 01:41:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:62f5bcd3-b99c-4242-87bc-6ab0e9c402f46896078Still doing it. The issue is that I have user waypoints stored in my G3X and Pilot. When I go to the page that has the "old" route entry, I can find the waypoint, and it displays properly on the chart display. But when I click the check mark in the upper right it tries to treat the way point names like IFR points, not user waypoints. So my point that is called PHX SOUTH, gets broken up into the PHX VOR, and a fix called SOUTH, which is on the other side of the world. I don't want to file a flight plan, just upload the route into the aircraft. I will check and see if my fix names are causing the problem. Will remove the space in the name. Yep. If I remove the space and call it PHXSOUTH, it works as expected in the VFR planning mode.https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/442493/flight-planning-bug/2056453Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:12:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:f2a6312f-59f0-4f2e-9fd2-ee921df0662eGarmin-CBHello, I am unable to reproduce the issue on my side but it is likely the issue you encountered was fixed in the newest Garmin Pilot update. Can you confirm you are using version 26.8.0? You can find that by going to Settings>General.

I am flying from KCHD to KDVT, and want to fly through the PHX Class B using the VFR corridor. I had previously created two user waypoints called PHX SOUTH, and PHX NORTH, which are the entry and exit points for the corridor. I can graphically add these points to the route, or type in the name in "add waypoint" area. Route displays correctly. When I click the check arrow in the upper right to return to the Flight Plan page, the user waypoints points disappear. I am not filing a flight plan, I just want the route saved, so I can upload it to my G3X when I get to the plane. Even so, the waypoint Lat/Lon should port over to the flight plan I would think. Worse, if the IFR box is checked, the route comes back into the flight plan page as PHX SOUTH PHX NORTH which is a route over 19000 miles long as it attempted to find waypoints with those names.https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/442493/flight-planning-bugSun, 23 Aug 2026 13:34:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:b1d132a3-e568-4593-9ff5-355c38395f2b6896078Using the new Flight Planner to enter a flight from KCHD to KDVT. Want to use the VFR corridor through the PHX Bravo. I had earlier created 2 user waypoints for the entry and exit points for the VFR route, PHX SOUTH and PHX NORTH. Those points display correctly on the map. I click the map expand icon in the upper right, so I can get to the traditional route editing area. I can add the enroute waypoint graphically, or search for the waypoint name and enter it into the flight legs. The map displays the route correctly. When I click the check mark in the upper right to go back to the new format page, the waypoints are gone, replaced instead with fix names of PHX, SOUTH PHX NORTH, which now has a route distance of over 19,000 miles. It is not using the stored lat/lon of the user waypoints.https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/442366/quality-of-data-and-service-through-garmin-pilot-in-south-africaFri, 21 Aug 2026 13:02:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:444f39c1-d823-4b59-bb25-acd76dcfa7ef3401356I'm planning to fly in South Africa soon-ish. As a Garmin Pilot user on Android who started using it in the US and then used Garmin Pilot in Europe (and felt the quality of the presented info/features/price effectiveness dropping radically), what am I looking at when going to South Africa and adding another subscription on top? What should I be expecting when flying in South Africa quality-wise? How's the quality of the weather briefing in GP? Are there any VFR (the subscription page says, yes..) but also airport/arrival/.. charts available? I am aware that the quality of publicly available information might also differ from the US.. so the question is: how close to "presenting all the publicly available data" is GP in SA? I'm seriously considering whether I should invest in another subscription for GP (which has been my "well-known & goto ecosystem" but where I apparently only get a fraction of all the features I'm paying for on my Android phone, which I use when flying - the last Android update is 5months old, synchronization was broken after the flights iOS update,...) or whether I'm better served with purpose-built alternatives, like EasyCockpit.

It appears the recent changes to the “Flights” page are not intuitive, or are focused for the biz-jet community and not the smaller piston community. Climb/Cruise/Descent – What is this block suppose to be displaying? No information is displayed other than “Estimated”. What is “estimated”; fuel?, time? Opening this block appears to allow a “power setting”, but is blank and does nothing. Payload – When AC loading and determining the CG are very important for smaller AC, how is a generic people and cargo count useful? Why do I have to scroll up (not apparent/hidden) the app to get to the W&B page? Can I change this default? Weight Limits – This is misleading or something is wrong with my setup. All runways list the AC’s structural weight limit; and always show the longest runway. I can’t figure out how to change the runway (I often get assigned a different / shorter runway). W&B loading plus a hot high-density altitude day and my ability to accept said shorter runway is sometimes limited by the AC’s weight. How do I change, adapt, or modify this section to show relevant information for the AC’s current loading; and the expected shorter runway? The app knows what AC I’m using to plan the flight. Why then can’t it display useful information based on the AC type? I guess I’m going back to my Excel spreadsheet with airport runway lookup tables and density altitude calculator to determine my takeoff and landing distances.

When on "Flight plan" it does show "stored flight plans" but when on "summary" or "details" it does not show "stored flight plans". And while we are on that subject it would be much more intuitive to have a "Save flight plan" menu option so flight plans can be saved directly while editing them. To have to navigate to "stored flight plans" first to find the save option would be like using microsoft word and the file menu does not have a save option but rather a "Stored Word Fdiles" menu option and once you are there browsing the stored files you get the option to save the current file. makes no sense. should be a direct "save flight plan" menu item that is a peer of "Stored flight plans". And "stored" should be globally replaced with "saved".https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/441064/android-pilot-bug-report---flight-plan--summary--create-trip-does-not-save-the-trip-that-s-createdFri, 31 Jul 2026 13:51:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:01af25d1-5580-4032-aa72-49a48d15fab11139150Android Pilot bug report - flight plan->summary->create trip does not save the trip that's created.

I came to try pilot because I hate apple and foreflight does not run on android. I like pilot but seems to be pretty buggy given its maturity. I recently installed pilot on my new Active 5 tablet and noticed yesterday that many settings did not sync. Things like preferred speed and distance units. Aircraft performance data such as empty weight and CG. I understand the latter bug is getting fixed any day now but its hard to rely on a app when you don't know if changes made on device A will make it to device B. Seems like all settings should be in a local json file on each device and use git to merge and track changes to a master copy in my cloud account which then propagates between devices. Based on the fact that some but not all account settings are syncing I am guessing there is some spaghetti code behind the sync process. Hope this can get fixed with a single unifying sync using git change tracking/merge at its core so this problem is solved once and for all? And what's with the manual "sync" menu with a plethora of "sync" buttons. When/why would users not just want all their settings synced? can you make the default "always sync" and for those users that want manual syncing let them choose which items to never or manual sync? I would love to see pilot become as popular as foreflight as that would take some market share from apple which, as I mentioned above, I am not fond of. So hoping we can get these "pilot on android" bugs cleaned up soon.

Best I can tell there is a feature that shows a glide ring in flight but thats really just telling you "your screwed" if you have an engine failure and there are no airports in your glide ring. Or you could add to your in in flight workload and play a video game where you constantly adjust course and altitude in real time chasing capturing at least one airport in your glide ring. Or - add another check to the route checker that flags when glide does not reach a suitable emergency landing runway. Preflight checks already flag when weather minimums are not met, sigmets are bad, or TFRs are active. Seems like an easy incremental feature to add this with very high safety value.https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/434435/g1000nxi-connects-to-ipad-with-garmin-pilot-via-bluetooth-but-will-not-make-wifi-connection-for-database-transfers/2049217Tue, 28 Jul 2026 19:47:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:8bd0cfb0-0b35-4e7c-9529-625445f5ff7bGarmin-AHYou are correct.
