Default ADSB input

I didn't see this specifically addressed in the previous posts, will the Aera 660 accept ADSB traffic inputs from the FreeFlight Systems Ranger?

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for your interest in the aera 660.

As shown on page 140 of the Rev. A aera 660 Pilot Guide, the 660 supports a "GTX TIS-A In" RS-232 traffic format, which is commonly supported by third party traffic devices. Sorry, but we don't know if this particular traffic device supports this format.

Not sure if that is a dual frequency (978/1090 Mhz) traffic receiver, but really great GDL 39 dual frequency traffic and weather receivers that are fully compatible with the aera 660 (hardwire and wireless) are quite reasonable. Here is one example.

Thanks,
Steve

Default SnF pickup

Anyone know if this will be for sale at SnF. I will be there and if it fits were the 496 sits I will most likely upgrade.

I know they don't start delivery according to ACS until the 31 st

Cheers

g3xpert,
Does the 660 work with the GDL 39R? Why does the GDL 39R have two BNC connectors?

Hello Joe,

Yes, any Garmin device that works with a GDL 39 will also work with a GDL 39R, and vice versa. The two different versions differ only in mounting method and connector type.

The GDL 39R has one BNC connector for an ADS-B antenna, and one for a GPS antenna; the latter would not be used if an aera 660 is present to provide GPS position.

Default Question on the flightcharts..

Does this mean it comes with IFR charts for all the south american countries...specifically Chile? Without having tested the product I always suspect sometimes that its more orientated to the us market....and then you get disappointed that it doesn't have them.

Thanks

"Americas Database Bundle $299.95/yr ($25.00/mo)
Includes the following 7 databases covering North and South America (see details on FlyGarmin), updated as often as you like:
Jeppesen Navigation Data (airports, runways, frequencies, approaches)
Obstacles (e.g. towers - used to provide obstacle visual and aural alerting including obstacle depiction in synthetic vision)
Terrain (used to render synthetic vision and provide terrain alerting)
FliteCharts (Geo-referenced IFR approach plates, airport diagrams, arrival and departure procedures)
SafeTaxi (airport diagrams integrated into moving map that are displayed and zoomed automatically when you need them for taxi and landing)
Airport Directory (FBOs, runways, hours of operation, rental cars, etc)
IFR/VFR Charts (VFR sectionals and IFR Hi/Lo charts)"

Default Difference between 796 and 660

What would be the major differences between these units, the 796 is about double in price? Thank you

Hello Semperfubar,

Sorry, but FliteCharts and the IFR/VFR charts in the Americas database bundle does not cover Chile.

We can give you details on the coverage for Chile if you would like to email us at the address shown below.

Thank you for your interest,
Steve

Hello Semperfubar,

The 796 has a 7" display and the 660 has a 5". Probably best to visit the web pages for each, review the specifications, and even download the Pilot Guides.

aera 660

aera 796

Thanks,
Steve
