Garmin Pilot app adds new terminal environment NOTAM alerts and graphical runway closures

By General Aviation News Staff · August 27, 2021 ·

Garmin Pilot 10.5 now displays runway closure NOTAMs as an overlay on the dynamic map or SafeTaxi diagram, in full or split-screen mode.

Runway closure NOTAMs are now color-coded:

  • Closed runways are depicted in red with a yellow “X” at each end.
  • An orange runway with a yellow clock depicted at each end indicates the runway is closed, with conditions that require investigation, such as the time or date of the closure.
  • A yellow runway indicates an upcoming closure. In addition to runway closures, airport closures are also displayed on the dynamic map.

Other enhancements include:

  • Terminal environment NOTAMs have been added throughout the Garmin Pilot app to enable pilots to quickly view pertinent NOTAMs.
  • Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) and Model Output Statistics (MOS) are now displayed as color coded overlays on the dynamic map or aeronautical chart
  • Embedded annotations within PDFs can now be viewed on the document viewer
  • Text annotations and undo/redo capability are now available when using the scratch pad or annotating charts/documents.

For new customers, Garmin Pilot is available in the Apple App Store as a free download for the first 30 days. An annual subscription starts at $79.99.
