Go Paperless
Aera 796 fulfills the role of either a Class I or Class II electronic flight bag, greatly reducing the need to rely on paper charts in the cockpit. Initial georeferenced VFR sectional and IRF in route charts come pre-loaded that show your aircraft�s position overlaid directly on the relevant chart. Optional European VFR and IFR charts are also available, as well as VFR terminal charts. When in IFR map mode, the 795 can display victor airways, jet routes, minimum enroute altitudes and leg distance, much like what�s found on traditional enroute charts. Initial geo-referenced Garmin FliteCharts provide approach charts and airport diagrams for the U.S., while pilots who prefer Jeppesen charts and diagrams can use optional Garmin ChartView service, which utilizes Jeppesen�s extensive library to provide global geo-referenced charting capabilities.

Aera 796 also includes a robust document viewer, so you can easily pull up weights and balances, flight manuals, raster charts or a variety of electronically formatted materials you download to the device. A �scratch pad� feature also allows you to quickly jot down clearances and other pertinent notes while en route, while a checklist viewer allows you to create customized and interactive electronic checklists.

Aera 796 - Enhance Situational Awareness
Aera 796�s built-in terrain and obstacle database not only shows contours in 3D Vision mode, but also allows for a top-down view of your entire route. To help you navigate around unfamiliar airports, SafeTaxi® provides detailed taxiway diagrams and position information for many U.S., European or Canadian airports, while a private airport and heliport database greatly expands your emergency �nearest� options. FBO, ground transportation, lodging and other facility information for most U.S. airports are also available through pre-loaded AOPA Airport Directory Data; international pilots may choose to opt for global AC-U-KWIK airport directory data instead.

Aera 796 - Access Weather and Radio
With the optional GXM 42 antenna, Aera 796 offers access to high-resolution weather and audio entertainment right in the cockpit (subscription required). An optional GDL 39 series data link can also provide access to ADS-B weather and traffic. All of this data can be overlaid directly onto navigation and topographic map databases.
Expand Your Portable

With 2 serial ports, Aera 796 allows for simultaneous connectivity with other hardware. With an optional GTX 330 Mode S Transponder Interface, you can access Traffic Information Service (TIS) alerts, where available, right on the device while also sending frequencies to a GTR 225 Comm radio or GNC 255 Nav/Comm. It can even relay position reports to other devices.

By adding optional City Navigator maps, both helicopter and fixed-wing pilots add street addresses as way points or direct-to destinations. The device includes an SD™ card slot for easy updates and expansions; update, manage and purchase the latest aviation data for your aera through flyGarmin.
