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 hardware uses Connext Bluetooth to wirelessly link panel-mounted GNS/GTN navigators with pilot tablet EFBs running the Garmin Pilot app.
• Key benefits of Flightstream (especially the 210 version) include two-way data communication, allowing flight plans created on a tablet to be uploaded to the navigator, and enabling the programming of Victor airways into flight plans.
• Connext technology serves as a strategic solution to prevent obsolescence, bridging the capabilities gap between rapidly evolving portable devices and slower-to-update panel-mounted avionics.
