Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the indicators shown on the Panel Display Pane to maneuver the aircraft.
WARNING: The altitude displayed by Garmin PilotTM on the Panel Page is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the aircraft altimeter when determining or selecting aircraft altitude.
WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the Garmin PilotTM must be updated regularly in order to ensure the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.
WARNING: To aid in device security, use a properly supported device that is dedicated to the aircraft and not shared with personal use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of Garmin PilotTM User documentation and the Pilot's Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from Garmin PilotTM to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
WARNING: Garmin PilotTM has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by Garmin PilotTM. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.
WARNING: For safety reasons, Garmin PilotTM operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of Garmin PilotTM utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by Garmin PilotTM can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, can become unsafe.
WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with in data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot's responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Use of an unapproved wireless device inserted into the SD card slot of your Garmin navigator may induce a malfunction, may cause damage to the unit, will void the Garmin warranty, and may nullify the airworthiness approval of the installation. The only wireless device currently certified for use in a compatible Garmin avionics system SD card slot is the Garmin Flight Stream 510. Do not insert an unapproved wireless device into the SD card slot of your Garmin avionics system.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of Garmin PilotTM panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current Garmin PilotTM software and aviation databases.
NOTE: Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and may not be updated outside of normal business hours. Confirm data currency through alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR data.
NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authorization, training, and possession of the corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special Procedure in the navigation database DOES NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure.

Overview
ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK
This operating handbook is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to help with understanding how to use Garmin Pilot for reviewing aviation weather, airport information, creating and filing flight plans, and for viewing charts, maps, and navigation data in-flight.
ANDROIDTM TRICKS FOR PILOTS
Android tablets are offered by a variety of manufactures and features can vary widely. It is important to know the features of a tablet before using Garmin Pilot for navigation. Some tablets are offered with one or two connectivity options; Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + Cellular. It is also important to know which connectivity option is available before using Garmin Pilot for navigation.
There are also a few things to know about a tablet's basic features and settings that will enhance the Garmin Pilot experience. Some features of this application will vary between handsets and tablets. These features are not hidden, but they may not be immediately apparent. It is recommended to get completely familiar with the tablet and its features by reading the User's Guide for the tablet and/or the User's Guide for the tablet's Android version (Garmin Pilot requires Android 2.3 or later).
GPS
Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving capability is optional on some Android tablets. Garmin Pilot can be used without GPS for flight planning, but the navigation features will be inoperative. If the tablet does not include a GPS receiver, a Garmin GLOTM portable GPS and GLONASS receiver, or a Garmin GDL 39 or GDL 39 3D portable GPS and ADS-B receiver will be required to take advantage of the navigation features of Garmin Pilot. Alternative or third-party GPS sources known to work with Garmin Pilot are: Bad Elf, Dual Electronics XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS, and GNS 5870 MFI Bluetooth GPS receiver. Other portable GPS sources may also work with Garmin Pilot.

Overview
DISPLAY ORIENTATION
Many devices have a default setting that will enable the unit to automatically rotate the display to either portrait or landscape according to which edge of the unit is facing upward. This automatic setting can be quite troublesome in the cockpit as the solidstate accelerometers are very sensitive to movement and can cause the display to rotate unexpectedly.
The primary means of enabling/disabling the rotation lock is via the Settings Menu. Each device may have other options to lock the display orientation, consult the User's Guide.
Locking Display Orientation: 1) On the Android device, touch Settings > Display. 2) Touch When device is rotated. 3) Touch Stay in current orientation.
GLARE REDUCTION
One limitation of some devices in the cockpit, is glare. There are number of ways to mitigate the effects of this glare using aftermarket screen protectors and similar products. However, one can do reasonably well by simply adjusting the display brightness.
Adjusting Display Brightness: 1) On the Android device, touch Settings > Display > Brightness Level. 2) Use the slider control to manually adjust the display brightness. Or: Within Garmin Pilot, touch Home > Brightness under the Tools section and
use the slider control to set the desired display brightness.
NOTE: Some Android devices have an "Automatic brightness" setting. It may be necessary to turn this off to manually adjust the device's screen brightness.

GENERAL GARMIN PILOT OPERATING GUIDELINES
Garmin Pilot by default will open on the Map Page. If the application has been recently used it will resume on the most recently viewed page. From any page, it is possible to access any desired feature by touching, flicking, and/or dragging a finger on the active areas of the display that appear as buttons, slide controls, flick lists, text fields, or icons. As with most applications, text fields automatically open a QWERTY keyboard for easy text entry.
Also like other applications that use maps, panning is done by "touch-dragging" a finger across the display, and magnifying or zooming is done by double-touching the display, by pinching, or use the button. Reversing the pinch gesture or touching the will de-magnify or zoom out. Additionally, double-touching the screen will increase magnification in 50% intervals and center the map over the area tapped.

Overview
Garmin Pilot can be used in either portrait or landscape orientation and will respond to the Android's automatic orientation feature. The map may be displayed in either full screen or split screen in either orientation. The lower half of the display in portrait orientation or second (non-map) display in landscape orientation has the following functions; Widgets, Panel, Charts, SafeTaxi, Traffic, VIRB, Terrain, Checklist, or Synthetic Vision.
To streamline navigation throughout the app, Garmin Pilot now offers a Tab Bar at the bottom of the screen, which may be used as an alternative to the Home Screen Main Menu.
Displaying Tab Bar:
1) Touch Settings > General.
2) Touch Tab Bar to adjust the Interface Style. Tap Classic to return to the legacy Home Screen Menu interface style.
· Panel Mode is customizable and can be configured to display an instrument panel with virtual instruments to indicate GPS altitude, ground speed, vertical speed, course, and lateral deviation as well as a table with multiple configurable data fields for monitoring navigation data.
· Widget Mode enables a series of customizable data windows called `Widgets' to be displayed. Widgets offer quick access to a variety of aviation weather products (METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft, NOTAMs, etc...) for nearby or selected airports.
Charts, SafeTaxi, Traffic when viewed in split-screen, have the same function, navigation, and capabilities as the full screen versions of these products, just displayed in half screen. Garmin Pilot requires a data connection for downloading maps and other data prior to departure, but once everything needed for the flight is downloaded, it is ready to navigate. The Downloads Menu in the Garmin Pilot settings options will indicate when new downloadable data products are available upon connection to the Internet.
NOTE: With some of their newer devices, Android is moving away from buttons, both physical or virtual, and replacing their functionality with gesture-based navigation by default. Navigating within Garmin Pilot will differ accordingly througout depending on your device settings.

GLIDE RANGE RING
NOTE: To enable the Glide Range Ring on the Map, the User must have a valid premium subscription, an updated terrain database downloaded, and the Glide Ratio setting toggled 'On' for the selected Aircraft in the active Flight Plan.
This feature is an aid to estimate accessible airports and terrain if the aircraft were forced into glide circumstances. The displayed ring updates in real time, derived from the selected aircraft's altitude, speed, and performance details. Since Garmin Pilot supports multiple aircraft, the Glide Range Ring refers to the current active flight plan to determine which aircraft performance details to calculate the ring shape.
The Glide Range Ring requires glide performance details to be specified in Garmin Pilot's settings. This is accessed through Home > > Aircraft. Touch on an aircraft (not aircraft type) to edit its details, and scroll down to the Glide section to specify the Glide Ratio and Best Glide Speed. Refer to the aircraft documentation for these values.

190-01532-00 Rev. U

Garmin Pilot for Android User's Guide

Overview

The Glide Range Buffer setting can be used to shrink the Glide Range Ring in situations where glide performance is expected to be less than ideal, perhaps due to shifting winds. Increasing this setting will decrease the size of the Glide Range Ring. Enabling Shape Glide Ring for Terrain will alter the shape of the Glide Range Ring to show intersection with terrain.
Enabling Shift Glide Ring for Wind will factor in local wind conditions when calculating the Glide Range Ring shape. Note the Glide Range Ring uses the most recent weather data, which may be outdated if Garmin Pilot does not have access to real time weather data over Wi-Fi or with outboard hardware such as a GDL 39.

Enabling/Disabling the Glide Range Ring:

Overview
The Synthetic Vision terrain display shows land contours (colors are consistent with those of the topographical map display), large water features, towers, and other obstacles over 200' AGL that are included in the obstacle database. Cultural features on the ground such as roads, highways, railroad tracks, cities, and state boundaries are not displayed.
Terrain is integrated within Synthetic Vision to provide visual alerts to indicate the presence of terrain and obstacle threats relevant to the projected flight path. Terrain alerts are displayed in red and yellow shading.
The terrain display is intended for situational awareness only. It may not provide the accuracy or fidelity on which to base decisions and plan maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. Navigation must not be predicated solely upon the use of the terrain or obstacle data displayed by Synthetic Vision.
NOTE: 'No Attitude Information' is displayed in place of the Attitude Indicator when compatible devices are not configured.

Terrain alerting on the synthetic vision display corresponds to the red and yellow X symbols on the Map Page.
In some instances, a terrain or obstacle alert may be issued with no conflict shading displayed on the synthetic vision. In these cases, the conflict is outside the Synthetic Vision field of view.
Obstacles are represented on the synthetic vision display by standard twodimensional tower symbols found on the Inset Map and Navigation Map. Unlike the Map Page, obstacles on the synthetic vision display do not change colors to warn of potential conflict with the aircraft's flight path until the obstacle is associated with an actual terrain alert. Obstacles greater than 1000 feet below the aircraft altitude are not shown.

AIRPORT INFORMATION

Airport information is a downloadable product available free with a Garmin Pilot subscription from the Downloads section of the Settings Menu. Because Garmin Pilot will not automatically remove outdated charts, it is important to always ensure the latest Data Cycle has been downloaded prior to planning a flight. The downloaded cycle number and date range for every map data product is displayed on the Downloads Page.
Finding airport information is easy with Garmin Pilot. The Home Button located at the top of the map page contains the Airport Info icon. Touching the icon will present the Airport Information Page.
The Airport Information Page is divided into two sections. The top of the page under the control bar is a summary of airport information.

With Garmin Pilot, users can easily enter a flight plan and interactively edit it on the map. Pre-loaded forms makes it quick to save and reuse data for frequently flown routes. And when the flight plan is ready, Garmin Pilot makes it simple to file, cancel or close the flight plan via a Filing Service Provider (Leidos Flight Services, etc.). Garmin Pilot helps European users plan routes for IFR flights quickly via the European Autorouting feature.
TRIP PLANNING
NOTE: A data connection (i.e., Wi-Fi or cellular) is required to receive preflight weather briefings, file, amend, cancel or close flight plans from Garmin Pilot.
The Trip Planning Page manages all of the trip planning details for each trip. When a new trip is created and activated on the Trip Planning Page it becomes the active flight plan. Flight plans created on the Flight Plan Page do not become the active trip plan. The Flight Plan must be imported to become the active trip. Trips created on the Trip Planning Page will default to a direct-to route from departure to destination. Add additional waypoints in the route field by entering fixes, NAVAIDs, airway, departures, arrivals or airports. For Long or complex routes use the Flight Plan page to create the flight plan and then import.
Complete the trip plan by entering pilot information, aircraft information, departure/ arrival times, altitude, airspeed, etc.. Some of the data will be auto-filled based on data from the Garmin Pilot account that's currently logged in. Once all mandatory fields have been completed, Garmin Pilot creates a trip summary, and Navlog. If Garmin Pilot has been linked to a Filing Service Provider, Garmin Pilot will retrieve a Standard Weather Briefing for the route of flight for the Estimate Time of Departure (ETD). Garmin Pilot also uses the Filing Service Provider to file, amend, cancel or close flight plans.

Trips that have been cloned are available for use at a future date. Activate a cloned trip, change the date and all applicable data, refresh the briefing, and the trip is ready to be filed.
PREPARING TO FILE
NOTE: Prior to filing the flight plan, ensure that all of the information entered on the Trip Planning Page is correct including the route of flight.
Garmin Pilot provides a quick and easy method to file, close or cancel flight plans. When a flight plan is complete, its route of flight, pilot information, aircraft information, type of flight plan (IFR/VFR), number of persons onboard, fuel onboard, date, estimated time of departure (ETD), altitude, airspeed, and any optional data including alternate, and remarks can be transmitted to the Filing Service Provider. The ETD must be at least 30 minutes in the future or the flight plan will not be transmitted. To file a flight plan with a departure time less than 30 minutes in the future, call the FSS.

GLIDE RANGE RING

This feature is an aid to estimate accessible airports and terrain if the aircraft were forced into glide circumstances. The displayed ring updates in real time, derived from the selected aircraft's altitude, speed, and performance details. Since Garmin Pilot supports multiple aircraft, the Glide Range Ring refers to the current active flight plan to determine which aircraft performance details to calculate the ring shape.
The Glide Range Ring requires glide performance details to be specified in Garmin Pilot's settings. This is accessed through Home > > Aircraft. Touch on an aircraft (not aircraft type) to edit its details, and scroll down to the Glide section to specify the Glide Ratio and Best Glide Speed. Refer to the aircraft documentation for these values.
The Glide Range Buffer setting can be used to shrink the Glide Range Ring in situations where glide performance is expected to be less than ideal, perhaps due to shifting winds. Increasing this setting will decrease the size of the Glide Range Ring. Enabling Shape Glide Ring for Terrain will alter the shape of the Glide Range Ring to show intersection with terrain. Enabling Shift Glide Ring for Wind will factor in local wind conditions when calculating the Glide Range Ring shape. Note the Glide Range Ring uses the most recent weather data, which may be outdated if Garmin Pilot does not have access to real time weather data over Wi-Fi or with outboard hardware such as a GDL 39.

Enabling/Disabling the Glide Range Ring:

1) Touch

> Ownship/Route.

2) Touch the Display Glide Range Ring switch to On.

WEATHER DATA
Weather data is presented in Widgets (as text), and map overlays. To receive up-todate weather information, the Android device must have access to a data connection (Wi-Fi or cellular), or a compatible external device. However, once downloaded, some weather products will remain available for up to 90 minutes after connection to the Internet is lost.
WEATHER SOURCES
Weather data is available from three sources, Garmin Weather Data Services (Internet), FIS-B weather when connected to a compatible FIS-B device via a Connext link, or SiriusXM weather connected to a compatible SiriusXM device via a Connext link. Garmin Weather Data Services (Internet) requires a data connection through Wi-Fi or cellular network. SiriusXM and FIS-B weather, require additional hardware. SiriusXM weather also requires a subscription to SiriusXM Weather.
DATA LINK WEATHER (FIS-B)
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with in data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
FIS-B is a subscription-free weather service that is broadcast by Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) over the 978 MHz UAT frequency band as part of the FAA's Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). To receive FIS-B weather information, the compatible FIS-B device must be within range and line-of-sight of an operating GBT. Reception may be affected by factors including altitude or terrain. FIS-B weather products include METARs, TAFs, NEXRAD (Regional and CONUS), AIRMETs, SIGMETs, PIREPs, Winds and Temperatures Aloft, and NOTAMs.

WEATHER PRODUCT AGE AND SOURCE
When a weather product is active on a map or in a Weather Widget, the age of the data is displayed. The age of the product is based on the time difference between when the data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS time.

RADAR
Weather radar data is collected from radar sites across the United States, Canada, and select overseas locations. It is combined into a mosaic for easier display and analysis.
The radar data displayed is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and dissemination of radar images can be significant and may not reflect the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use radar data to penetrate hazardous weather. Rather, use it in an early-warning capacity for predeparture evaluation.

190-01532-00 Rev. U

Garmin Pilot for Android User's Guide

Fly
Composite data is composed of the maximum reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps at different tilt angles of the radar beam with respect to the ground. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level. Colors are used to identify the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels or Z). "Reflectivity" (designated by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ values increase as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed using colors corresponding to the dBZ values.
Base Reflectivity (the lowest level radar scan) best represents the precipitation falling from the clouds, while composite reflectivity combines the radar from all altitudes into one view.
RADAR ABNORMALITIES
There are possible abnormalities regarding displayed NEXRAD images. Some, but not all, of those include:
· Ground clutter
· Strobes and spurious radar data
· Sun strobes, when the radar antenna points directly at the sun
· Military aircraft deploy metallic dust (chaff) which can cause alterations in radar scans
· Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows
· Poor reception from Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) can cause portions of the received radar imagery to not be displayed

RADAR LIMITATIONS

Certain limitations exist regarding radar displays. Some, but not all, are listed for the user's awareness:
· Surface precipitation type is estimated with shades of blue for snow and shades of pink for indeterminate types. The actual precipitation type aloft could vary.
· Radar base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has no information about storms directly over the site.
· Radar coverage in Canada is only available in the southern 1/4 of the country.

METARS AND TAFS
METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is an international code used for reporting weather observations. METARs are updated hourly or as needed. METARs typically contain information about the temperature, dew point, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, cloud heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. They can also contain information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other critical data.
TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) is the standard format for 24-hour weather forecasts. TAFs may contain some of the same code as METAR data. It typically forecasts significant weather changes, temporary changes, probable changes, and expected changes in weather conditions. METAR and TAF data are displayed as raw and/or decoded text.

DATA LINK TRAFFIC (OPTIONAL)

The GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D is a Bluetooth® enabled receive-only data link radio with on-board GPS, 978 MHz (Universal Access Transceiver frequency band), and 1090 MHz Extended Squitter (1090 ES) receivers. It is designed to receive, process, and output traffic (ADS-B air-to-air, and TIS-B traffic information), and weather (Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B)) information to Garmin Pilot through Bluetooth.
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) is a surveillance technology deployed across the United States as the cornerstone of the FAA's Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). ADS-B enables improved surveillance services, both air-to-air and air-to-ground, especially in areas where radar is ineffective due to terrain or where it is impractical or cost prohibitive. Initial applications of air-to-air ADS-B are for "advisory" use only, enhancing a pilot's visual acquisition of other nearby ADS-B equipped aircraft either when airborne or on the airport surface.

Fly

For the purpose of distinguishing between levels of ADS-B service, there are three classifications of aircraft or system capability; ADS-B In, ADS-B Out, and ADS-B participating. ADS-B In refers to the capability to receive ADS-B information. ADS-B Out refers to the capability to transmit ADS-B information. ADS-B participating refers to the capability to both send and receive ADS-B information. Aircraft lacking either ADS-In, ADS-B Out, or both ADS-B capabilities may also be referred to as ADS-B nonparticipating aircraft.

Currently, rule-compliant ADS-B Out capability in the United States requires a TSO'ed SBAS-enabled GPS, such as a Garmin GPS 400W or similar, and one of two possible data links: 1090 ES transponder or a 978 MHz UAT. Either data link system is capable of transmitting the aircraft's position, velocity, identification, and other information every second to compatible aircraft and ground stations called Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs).

Because 1090 ES transponders and UATs operate on different frequencies, aircraft not similarly equipped cannot transmit/receive data link information directly to/from each other. Instead, operation within range of a GBT is required to receive data link information on both frequencies. The GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D is unique in its ADS-B In capability since it can receive data link information from both 1090 ES transponders and UATs.

Thus, the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D receives traffic information directly from any ADS-B Out aircraft within range as well as the rebroadcast of ADS-B information from any nearby GBT. This rebroadcast is called Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Rebroadcast (ADS-R) and is automatically triggered by the detection of an ADS-B participating aircraft within the service volume of the GBT. As a 978 MHz (UAT frequency) receiver, the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D can receive both the Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) and Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) provided in conjunction with ADS-R services when in range of a GBT.

FIS-B service is provided continuously, but ADS-R including TIS-B will only be broadcast by a GBT when an ADS-B participating aircraft is within the GBT's defined service volume. In this case, a GBT will only rebroadcast TIS-B information relative to the ADS-B participating aircraft. Only traffic that is within 15 nm lateral and 3,500' vertical of the ADS-B participating aircraft is provided in the broadcast. Nonparticipating traffic aircraft located farther than 15 nm laterally and 3,500' vertically from the participating aircraft is are excluded from the information transmitted by the GBT.

190-01532-00 Rev. U

Garmin Pilot for Android User's Guide

212

Fly
TIS-B traffic information includes non-participating aircraft detected by ATC surveillance radar. As TIS-B data is derived from ATC surveillance radar data, TIS-B traffic position updates typically occur every three to thirteen seconds. Therefore, TIS-B traffic may be displayed with degraded positional accuracy. Aircraft without operating transponders are invisible to TIS-B. Aircraft operating outside of the ATC radar coverage area are also not displayed.
Since the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D is a receive-only device, even when used onboard an aircraft equipped with a qualifying GPS and 1090 ES transponder, a GBT may not identify it as an ADS-B participating aircraft. The squitter of some 1090 ES transponders, including the Garmin GTX 23ES, must be configured to communicate the aircraft has 978 MHz receive capability in order to be identified as an ADS-B participating aircraft.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot's responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display.

TRAFFIC DESCRIPTION

ADS-B traffic operation is similar to other traffic systems, but ADS-B adds additional symbology. The symbols used to display ADS-B traffic are shown in the table below. The traffic identifier and altitude are displayed below the traffic symbol. A small up or down arrow next to the traffic symbol indicates the traffic is climbing or descending at a rate of at least 500 feet per minute. The vector line that extends beyond the point of the traffic arrow is just further indication of the intruder aircraft track.

TRAFFIC ADVISORIES (TA)
The GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D automatically adjusts its Traffic Advisory (TA) sensitivity level to reduce the likelihood of nuisance TA alerts during various phases of flight. TAs are issued for traffic when they are predicted to be within a specified volume of airspace around the aircraft in a specified amount of time. The protected volume and time interval varies based on the current geodetic altitude and groundspeed. Thus, the protected volume of airspace increases with altitude and ground speed. Refer to the following table for details.

FLIGHT ID DISPLAY AND MOTION VECTOR
The Flight IDs of other aircraft (when available) can be displayed on the Traffic Page. When a flight ID or call sign is received, it will appear below the corresponding traffic symbol when enabled. Traffic ground track is indicated on Garmin Pilot by the Motion Vector, a short line, extending in the direction of target movement or relative movement. The track vector has two settings, TargetTrendTM shown as a green vector, or Absolute shown as a white vector. Absolute vectors extend from the traffic symbol showing the traffic's ground track. TargetTrend traffic vectors are displayed relative to the aircraft's position and ground speed. For example if traffic is ahead and traveling in the same direction but at a slower ground speed, the motion vector would point opposite of its direction of flight, indicating the aircraft is overtaking the traffic. Thus, the TargetTrend motion vector is relative to the current position, where absolute motion vectors are based on the traffic's speed and direction. The end of the Motion Vector represents the predicted absolute or relative location of the traffic, based the traffic's reported track, ground speed and the Vector Duration setting (15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds).

TERRAIN

WARNING: Do not use Terrain information for primary terrain avoidance. Terrain information is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
The Terrain function displays altitudes of terrain and obstructions relative to the aircraft position and altitude with reference to a database that may contain inaccuracies. Terrain and obstructions are shown only if they are in the database. Terrain and obstacle information should be used as an aid to situational awareness. They should never be used to navigate or maneuver around terrain. Note that all obstructions may not be available in the terrain and obstacle database. No terrain and obstacle information is shown without a valid 3-D GPS position.
The device or external GPS receiver provides the horizontal position and altitude of the aircraft. Aircraft GPS altitude is derived from satellite position. GPS altitude is then converted to a mean sea level (MSL)-based altitude (GPS-MSL altitude) and is used to determine terrain and obstacle proximity. GPS-MSL altitude accuracy is affected by satellite geometry, but is not subject to variations in pressure and temperature that normally affect pressure altitude sensors. GPS-MSL altitude does not require local altimeter settings to determine MSL altitude. It is a widely-used MSL altitude source.
Terrain and obstacle databases are referenced to MSL. Using the GPS position and altitude, the Terrain feature portrays a 2D picture of the surrounding terrain and obstacles relative to the position and altitude of the aircraft. GPS position and GPSMSL altitude are used to calculate and predict the aircraft's flight path in relation to the surrounding terrain and obstacles. In this way, the pilot can view predicted dangerous terrain and obstacle conditions. Alert windows appear to inform the pilot of proximity to the terrain and obstacles.

TERRAIN COLOR TRANSITION
During the takeoff or landing transition only terrain that is 400ft above the current location is shown in red. This is to prevent from displaying a "sea of red" during takeoffs and landings.
During the takeoff transition, the terrain colors will 'fade in' once the aircraft is airborne and flies through 400' AGL, the aircraft descends more than 25' after takeoff, or more than 60 seconds have passed since the aircraft was on the ground.
During the landing transition, the terrain colors will 'fade out' when the aircraft is within 0.5nm of an airport, the distance is decreasing, and the height above the runway is less than 200'.

DATABASE CONCIERGE
NOTE: Database Concierge requires a Flight Stream 510 and a compatible navigator.
Database Concierge is a tool for updating databases for compatible Garmin navigators. Updating databases should be accomplished with the aircraft on the ground. Database Concierge aims to make this task as easy as possible by using the Wi-Fi capabilities of your Android device, as well as integration with a personalized flyGarmin account.
By default, Database Concierge is disabled. This accommodates pilots who wish to use Garmin Pilot without Database Concierge. This is also useful to pilots who use multiple Garmin Pilot devices in the cockpit. Pilots can enable Database Concierge on only one of their Garmin Pilot devices, nominating that device to download and transmit updates to their avionics.
Once set up, the ideal usage of Database Concierge is to allow Garmin Pilot to download updates while connected to the internet. Once Garmin Pilot has downloaded all of its updates, take the Android device to the aircraft. The Android device will connect to the compatible system using the Wi-Fi provided by the Flight Stream 510, and navigator updates will commence.
Adding aircraft to your flyGarmin account: 1) Visit https://fly.garmin.com 2) Enter the email address and password for your Garmin Account. This is the
same information used for Garmin Pilot subscriptions. 3) Click the Aircraft tab. 4) Click Add a new aircraft. 5) Enter the information for the aircraft and click Add Aircraft. 6) Click Add a new aircraft device. 7) Select the Garmin compatible system in the combo box. 8) Enter the System ID for the navigator. Click Where is my System ID? for
assistance locating the system ID. Click Add Device when complete.

GTX 345/45R
The GTX 345/45R is a Bluetooth® enabled receive-only data link radio with on-board GPS, Universal Access Transceiver, and Extended Squitter (1090 ES) receivers. It is designed to receive, process, and output traffic (ADS-B air-to-air and Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) traffic information) and weather (Flight Information ServiceBroadcast (FIS-B)) information to Garmin Pilot wirelessly through Bluetooth®. The GTX 345/45R Tab displays the Bluetooth connection status, GTX 345/45R firmware version, pressure and geometric altitude. The Traffic information includes the number and source (i.e., ADS-B air-to-air, or TIS-B) of traffic the GTX 345/45R is currently tracking. The Weather information provides the age of weather products received through (FIS-B). The GTX 345/45R also has a pressure altitude sensor to aid in displaying the relative altitude of received traffic information.
NOTE: When connected to a GTX 345/45R, the device GPS information is replaced with GTX 345/45R GPS information. The GTX 345/45R GPS receiver is capable of updating position information at a much higher frequency, thus providing more accurate GPS position information.
GPS 175/GNC 355/GNX 375
The GPS 175, GNC 355, & the GNX 375 are 2" by 6.25" panel mount navigators with full color capacitive touchscreen technology.
The GPS 175 is a GPS/WAAS navigator with en route, terminal, and precision/nonprecision approach capabilities. The GNC 355 combines the functionality of the GPS 175 with a built-in10-watt Comm radio. The GNX 375 combines the functionality of the GPS 175 with a mode S transponder.
Each unit is Bluetooth compatible, providing flight plan, traffic, weather, and position data to an available portable device.

GI 275
The GI 275 is an electronic flight instrument that directly replaces legacy primary flight instruments in the cockpit. The GI 275 is suitable as a direct replacement for a variety of instruments, including an attitude indicator, attitude directional indicator (ADI), course deviation indicator (CDI), horizontal situation indicator (HSI), multifunction display (MFD) and engine indication system (EIS). Capable of serving as a 4-in-1 flight instrument with attitude, airspeed, altitude, and heading information, the GI 275 can also be installed as a standby to a number of glass flight displays and is available with a 60-minute back-up battery.
The GI 275 boasts a standard 3.125" form factor and rear-mount design that minimizes panel modification. Several variants of the GI 275 are available to meet the needs of many business and general aviation aicraft models. Units can be configured in many different ways to display flight plan, traffic, terrain, weather, and position data to an available portable device thanks to Bluetooth connectivity. For additional information, please refer to the GI 275 Pilot's Guide.
