Garmin automates aircraft flight logging with PlaneSync service

OLATHE, Kan./July 15, 2025 – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced integration with multiple aircraft analysis services, enabling pilots to automatically share aircraft flight logs from their Garmin avionics and receive customized reports on engine health, maintenance updates, flight analysis and more. The new service integrations, coupled with a PlaneSync^™ subscription, allow aircraft owners to get the most out of the data their Garmin avionics collect every flight.

A better way to log each flight

From startup to shut down, compatible Garmin avionics can collect a wealth of information about each flight. When appropriately equipped, an aircraft flight log can include GPS track, attitude information, engine data, aircraft total time, departure time, CO levels and more. Following the flight, the data can be automatically uploaded to flyGarmin.com via the GDL^® 60 datalink and PlaneSync service¹. Data can also be transferred from compatible avionics via the Flight Stream 510 wireless gateway, which transfers aircraft flight logs to the Garmin Pilot app for uploading to flyGarmin.com. Avionics compatible with GDL 60 or Flight Stream 510 can be found at Garmin.com/FlightLogs.

Gain deeper insights through analysis services

Aircraft owners can access their flight logs via flyGarmin.com, where they can review flights, playback data and more. With new flyGarmin.com integrations, aircraft owners can now opt-in to share their flight logs automatically with many different service providers. Examples include aircraft and flight analysis, engine performance and trend analysis, aircraft record keeping and maintenance services, aircraft scheduling and more. Analysis services supporting this integration option include:

• FlySto
• Crewchief Systems
• Savvy Aviation
• Navi

All data analysis integrations are managed through flyGarmin.com. Once sharing is enabled, all current and future flight logs for the selected aircraft will be automatically shared with the service provider. Access to future logs can be changed at any time. Additionally, flyGarmin.com users that connect their accounts can take advantage of new offerings from Savvy Aviation and Crewchief Systems at no additional cost. With SavvyConnect, aircraft owners are provided a suite of key diagnostic reports that help users monitor their engine’s performance. Crewchief Essentials helps aircraft owners digitize, organize and share aircraft records, as well as monitor AD compliance and more. For an even greater understanding of aircraft and engine performance, additional subscription options from these service providers are also available.

Aircraft flight logs are available on flyGarmin.com today for aircraft owners using compatible Garmin avionics. Integrations with data analysis services are expected to become available on flyGarmin.com beginning in August, with more becoming available in the second half of 2025.
