Garmin introduced a new user-driven commenting feature for its Garmin Pilot app, allowing pilots to share real-time insights about airports and fixed-base operators (FBOs) directly within the platform.
With the update, pilots can leave feedback on fuel availability, ramp conditions, service quality, and other operational details that may not be captured in traditional airport directories. Garmin noted the goal is to provide more dynamic, crowd-sourced information that reflects current conditions—particularly useful for general aviation pilots operating into unfamiliar airports.
The company says the feature includes moderation and quality controls intended to keep comments relevant and operationally useful.
Alongside the new feature, Garmin also announced promotional offers across its aviation product lineup. Customers looking to transition to Garmin Pilot can take advantage of a “15 for 12” promotion, which provides 15 months of a Standard or Premium subscription for the price of 12. The offer is available to new users or those who have not held a subscription for more than 180 days.
Additionally, active Certified Flight Instructors in the U.S. and Canada are eligible for 50 percent discounts on Garmin Pilot subscriptions through the “Right Seat Rewards” program which runs through July 26.
The Airport and FBO Comments feature is available now across Garmin Pilot platforms on iOS, Android, and the web. Garmin says it plans to refine the system based on user feedback.
