DISPLAY ORIENTATION

The iPad has a default setting that will enable the unit to automatically rotate the

display to either portrait or landscape according to which edge of the unit is facing

upward. This automatic setting can be quite troublesome in the cockpit as the solid-

state accelerometers in the iPad are very sensitive to movement and can cause the

display to rotate unexpectedly.

There are two ways to enable/disable the rotation lock; ﬁrst via the iPad control

center, and second from within Garmin Pilot by selecting 'Lock Screen' under the Tools

button.

NOTE:

If the Silence Sounds icon is displayed instead of the Orientation Lock

icon, go to the iPad Settings, touch General, under USE SIDE SWITCH TO:

touch Mute.

Locking Orientation in the iPad Control Center:

Swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.

Touch the orientation lock icon to lock/unlock the automatic screen

orientation feature.

GLARE REDUCTION

One limitation of the iPad hardware in the cockpit is glare. There are number of ways

to mitigate the effects of glare using aftermarket screen protectors and similar products.

However, one can do reasonably well by simply adjusting the display brightness and/

or selecting White on Black or “Night Mode” for operations in low light conditions.
