Garmin has introduced new advanced weather features to Garmin Pilot Web, its web-based flight planning platform that complements the Garmin Pilot mobile app. These updates help pilots visualize and understand weather conditions more effectively, improving flight safety and efficiency for both VFR and IFR operations.
The new tools include Future Radar, allowing users to preview upcoming precipitation patterns and storm movements; Storm Tops and Echo Tops, which display storm height and intensity to assist in altitude planning; Surface Visibility, which forecasts ground-level visibility; and Freezing Levels, showing altitudes prone to icing conditions. In addition to weather insights, the platform now provides leg distance and fuel requirement estimates, streamlining trip planning.
Garmin Pilot Web remains a free, feature-rich platform offering high-resolution maps, airport data, aeronautical charts, and real-time weather overlays. The service is available in North America, with more regions to follow. These enhancements reinforce Garmin’s commitment to innovation in aviation technology and pilot support.
