I've used Fltplan Go and Foreflight in the past, but none of them are as capable as Garmin Pilot in my personal opinion.

(Be advised that Garmin Pilot on Android is an old version that they don't keep up to date with new features like the iOS version).

As my third device I use an Android emulator on my main PC to run Pilot there for flight planning, which is super convenient. Pilot allows up to three devices, I believe Foreflight is the same.

Also, be sure to install the app on your phone so you have a back-up EFB. You don't want to have any sort of jacket or case on it that will keep the heat in. I keep mine shut down and out of the sun when I leave it in the aircraft on the ground for any length of time.

If you are hot, then the tablet is hot, and if the tablet is in full sunlight it's even worse. All this sort of stuff is in Foreflight, too, of course.Ī few last EFB hints/tips: overheating can be a big problem for tablets in the cockpit, Android and iPad alike. And I'm also not using it for logging, I prefer, but maybe I should give logging a whirl. I've tried using it for checklists, and it works great, but I'm just not that anal, I prefer the old laminated card. But 99% of the time in using Pilot for flying, for weather briefings (I love the MOS forecasts and the little slider widget that takes you through your flight), flight planning, and W&B. If you want to look at something obscure, like chart legends and stuff like that, you can have them downloaded in FltPlan Go. I've been playing with FltPlan Go and it's a useful adjunct to Pilot sometimes. Even as a VFR-only pilot I pay for the "Premium Upgrade" because I love the obstacle and terrain warnings, Flitecharts and SafeTaxi features. So, as you might guess, I run Pilot on Android, usually with a feed from a GTX345 transponder. I also despise Apple and iOS so my phones and tablets are Androids. What I do: I'm a VFR-only, Part 91 helicopter pilot and live primarily in a Garmin panel environment. If you are renting the usual clapped out Cessnas and the like, you will definitely want to buy and use a GDL, Stratus, or some other receiver to support your tablet. Foreflight will talk to anything, Garmin or non-Garmin, e.g. That means a Garmin GDL series portable, or something in the panel like a GTX345, Flightstream, etc. Those are probably the biggest differences.įoreflight vs Pilot-obtaining TIS-B and FIS-B data: Pilot will ONLY talk to Garmin avionics. On the other hand people like the weather briefings a lot better on Foreflight, and Foreflight allows a single flight plan to have stops whereas Garmin makes you have separate plans. If you need big boy tools like automatic FBO reservations, eAPIS, and stuff like that, then Pilot with Fltplan Go together is the way to do it. Pilot is now also starting to integrate with and Fltplan Go. are flying an aircraft with a lot of Garmin stuff or a Garmin glass panel, Pilot may be preferable because its user interface matches up very well with the latest Garmin panel avionics. If you live in a Garmin environment, i.e. It's not as dramatic or as bad as it used to be, but it can be noticeable.įoreflight vs Pilot on the iPad: Foreflight used to be the clear leader, but now the choice is much more difficult. More iPad vs Android: Garmin Pilot on Android generally lacks the latest features found on Garmin Pilot on the iPad. Conversely, if you want to use Android, you must use Garmin Pilot. IPad or Android: if you want to use Foreflight you have no choice, you must use the iPad.
View QuoteYes, Avare is free, and so is FltPlan Go (the latter now owned by Garmin), but compared to what you are going to be spending on actual flying it is definitely worth the $$$ to invest in a subscription to either Foreflight or Garmin Pilot, especially if you are going to be flying IFR.
