Developed in collaboration with Hughes Aerospace, guided visual approaches make it easier to fly into challenging airport environments, including those with terrain and obstacles nearby.
Your Pathway to the Runway
Guided visual approaches provide lateral and vertical guidance to enhance your peace of mind and stability1. They can even couple with your autopilot — so you no longer have to only “eyeball” your way to the runway.
Where Guided Visual Approaches Can Help
COMPLEX TERRAIN
Do less diving and driving over the top of terrain.
OBSTACLES
More easily avoid obstacles during visual approaches.
CHALLENGING AIRPORTS
Find the runway, even when a nearby city or lights are obscuring the airport at night.
Familiar Approach Loading
Guided visuals, displayed as RNAV G approaches, are loaded into your integrated flight deck or navigator the same way as traditional approaches. This makes selecting and activating them as simple as flying them.
Familiar Looking Charts
These guided visual charts look and feel like traditional approaches — from loading to landing, making briefing and flying a breeze. They can also be displayed on compatible avionics for easy viewing.
View Guided Visuals in the Garmin Pilot™ App
Subscribers to guided visual OnePak™ databases can use their iOS devices to view guided visual FliteCharts® procedure charts in the Garmin Pilot app. This integration brings new levels of flexibility and simplicity to preflight planning and briefing.
