Jeppesen Expands Garmin Pilot Wireless Data Capability

Garmin and Jeppesen have announced new wireless data transfer capabilities for Jeppesen terminal charts that are accessed through select Garmin avionics and the iOS-based Garmin Pilot app. “The ability to provide wireless data updates streamlines the flight preparation process,” said Jeppesen OEM client management director Scott Reagan.

Pilots using the GTN 650/750 touchscreen navigator or the G1000 NXi integrated flight deck with Flight Stream 510 can now wirelessly transfer Jeppesen terminal charts through the iOS-based Garmin Pilot app to their avionics systems. The Flight Stream 510 MultiMediaCard (MMC) from Garmin includes Database Concierge, the tool that transfers Jeppesen aviation database updates from the app to supported Garmin avionics.

Jeppesen terminal charts can be viewed within Garmin Pilot from the charts page and in split-screen mode alongside the moving map. Geo-referenced Jeppesen charts can also be overlaid on the moving map for seamless navigation. An electronic Jeppesen chart subscription for Garmin Pilot is required to access Jeppesen terminal charts through the app.
