In Part 1 of this short series, we observed these two products side-by-side on a real-life IFR-to-VFR flight. Now in Part 2, Jan leads us on a more controlled Bench Test. Welcome back! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

FF has lost its roots are is all about Corp and military. Gone are the days of affordable solutions for the GA guy. Best new features for the most expensive plans.

Garmin just released more panel features like glide rings that FF has. Upgrade your panel you have this functionality on a device that doesn’t lock up or overheat.

From a value perspective from the average GA pilot, Pilot is just fine and does the job. Are all these new features really needed or just niceities to brag about?

keep up the comparisons.

Rick, thanks for checking in with your thoughts. Jan and I have a Part 4 video in the works that focuses on flight planning.
