Garmins Flightstream

Garmins Flightstream 110/210 is the hardware side of the companys Connext wireless Bluetooth technology, which provides an interface between the companys panel-mounted avionics-the GNS- and GTN-series navigators-and the pilots tablet-based EFB app, as pictured. On a tablet, the benefits of Connext are only available when running Garmins Pilot app, which is available for iOS and Android devices.

Key Takeaways:

• Garmin's Flightstream 110/210 (Connext) is a Bluetooth system designed to wirelessly connect Garmin's panel-mounted avionics (GNS/GTN series) with a pilot's tablet EFB running the Garmin Pilot app.
• A primary benefit of the Flightstream 210 is enabling two-way data communication, allowing flight plans created on a tablet to be uploaded to the aircraft's panel-mounted navigators.
• Connext also resolves a long-standing issue by allowing panel-mounted units to incorporate Victor airways into flight plans via the tablet interface.
• This technology serves as a strategic measure against obsolescence, bridging the gap between rapidly advancing portable device software and the slower development of panel-mounted avionics.
