![]() ![]() Learn more about the Garmin GDL 52 here.The FltPlan Go Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) app for pilots brings all of the great FltPlan features and more from the website to your iPad, iPhone, Android, or Windows devices. You can download and use FltPlan Go for iPad for free. Flight Stream 210/110 (connected to other Garmin products) – GPS, ADS-B (TIS-B), FIS-B WeatherĪ FltPlan representative also stated that this most recent update is really a “partial soft launch of our integration with Garmin Avionics.” This is a great indication that we will see continued development to support the entire range of Garmin products and services.GDL 39 – ADS-B Traffic (TIS-B), FIS-B Weather.Other FIS-B data like TFRs, AIRMETS/SIGMETS, and winds aloft are completely void from the app.įltPlan Go tech support was happy to clarify the specific support for Garmin products. ![]() While PIREPs and NEXRAD radar are available to select as overlays, no data was ever received. After 20 minutes of continuous connection, only NOTAMs, METARs, and TAFs were displayed. The app can also use your GPS position data to calculate relative altitude with other traffic.įrom our test station on the ground, we were only able to connect to a single tower, which should be sufficient for most ADS-B weather products. Tapping on a target reveals pertinent information like altitude, course, and speed. Heading to the maps view, a quick selection of layers under the ADS-B tab instantly reveals a multitude of traffic in the area and weather data slowly accumulating. This view also presents the option to override the internal iPad GPS and use the position source from the external device. After choosing to use the Garmin receiver, a barrage of data begins to flow including battery status, position information, numerical attitude data, and surprisingly, ADS-B weather and traffic. Under the “External” sidebar tab, a new Garmin menu option appears in the ADS-B section. To find out how well FltPlan Go pairs with Garmin, we were quick to connect our Garmin GDL 52 and see what data might show up. There is also lacking documentation of support for the GDL 51’s big brother, the Garmin GDL 52, which adds ADS-B reception alongside the SiriusXM. FltPlan Go currently supports Baron XM weather and we would love to see future support for SiriusXM as well. Since the Garmin GDL 51 is strictly a SiriusXM satellite weather receiver, it makes sense (for now) that only GPS position data is available. The app claims to support both GPS and ADS-B from the GDL 39 and Flight Stream, but makes no mention of support from the built-in attitude heading reference system (AHRS). The update description is quite vague on the level of integration with these Garmin products. The most recent iteration of the app now has upped the ante with support for Garmin’s original GDL 39 portable receiver, the new Garmin GDL 51, and integration with the Garmin Flight Stream 110/210. Users can now see weather and traffic on their iPad via Garmin’s line of portable ADS-B receivers and Garmin Flight Stream, which wirelessly links your iPad to installed Garmin panel avionics.įltPlan Go has long supported data-link connections with a slew of avionics and portable ADS-B solutions. Riding on a current wave of impressive updates, popular flight planning and navigation app FltPlan Go has introduced another major new feature. ![]()
