One of the extremely popular areas in the Garmin Oshkosh booth is the Pilot My-Cast by Garmin area. Pilots who have used this cell phone app know that it's one of the most convenient, intuitive and affordable aviation apps around. In a nutshell, Pilot My-Cast by Garmin gives you a complete aviation weather briefing, lets you look at airport diagrams and the AOPA directory, and file a flight plan directly from your phone. You can check this information anytime, anywhere -- while sitting in a board room or while walking around the world's largest air show. And by the time you reach your airplane, you will have made an educated go/no-go decision and have filed a flight plan. Pilot My-Cast's information comes directly from the National Weather Service, Environment Canada and FAA, so you can be confident that your decision is based upon the most up-to-date and accurate information available.
During Oshkosh, numerous people stop by the booth for a demonstration. After they see its benefits and realize it's extremely easy to use, they often download the app on the spot because they want to be able to use it to check the weather before flying home from Oshkosh. To hear more about Pilot My-Cast by Garmin, you can listen to this AvWeb podcast or watch this AOPA Pilot video from Oshkosh. The iPhone version of the Pilot My-Cast by Garmin app will be available this Fall. If you'd like to be notified when it's available, email marketing@digitalcyclone.com.
