From a serious cockpit tool to an unreliable mess
I’ve used Garmin Pilot extensively as a professional pilot and CFII, and I fly behind Garmin avionics. Unfortunately, the app has deteriorated badly.
Features that previously worked reliably have disappeared or become unreliable. Amended ATC clearances no longer consistently populate as they once did, syncing between devices is problematic, and the Flights section has become frustratingly unreliable. There are also bizarre flight-planning issues, such as baggage being interpreted as additional occupants when filing IFR.
These aren’t requests for fancy new features. Basic functionality that professional pilots depend on has regressed.
Garmin makes outstanding aviation hardware. Garmin Pilot should be held to the same standard. Right now, it isn’t.

Muito bom

Here are some things
When I file a IFR plan if my airport doesn’t stars with a K then it just says ZZZZZ on my flight plans and if at doesn’t catch it in the details they can reject the flight plans. Also getting my exact aircraft type and performance data has been hard and still now rite I have a Cessna P210N and I wish there were one I could just import the data from and make minor changes. My plane burns 20 gph and I still don’t think I have the default fuel burn set rite

Amazing product
I flew in the days without EFBs, and using Garmin Pilot is a game changer. It’s easy to use and helps simplify flying in coordination with the built-in Garmin avionics.
Used to LOVE… not anymore
Absolutely riddled with bugs. This has become a flight risk. In the wrong circumstances, this app could kill you.
