Garmin's Wireless Cockpit Flight Trial

The Garmin Flight Stream wireless data hub connects the Pilot tablet computer app with a variety of onboard avionics systems, including the Garmin GTN and GNS panel navigators and the GDL88/84 ADS-B transceivers. In this video, "Aviation Consumer" editor Larry Anglisano, along with Garmin's Jessica Koss, goes flying with the system in the company Cirrus for a hands-on demo.

When will the flight streams be able to integrate with G1000 cockpits is the real question.

Bummer that the flight plan uploaded was not the one they created on the ground, but still, this is very cool.  Garmin basically implemented and delivered what Aspen promised but has failed to meaningfully deliver.

Would be nice if updating the ipad's waypoints automatically synced with the airplane's avionics. I can see a pilot forgetting to manually send the new data under heavy work loads resulting in different nav data on the avionics and ipad.

All of that is great - except I have not yet won the lottery!
