A dedicated aviation device featuringa big 7-inch capacitivetouchscreen display, thisnew unit is Garmin’smost visionary portableyet. Viewable in portraitor landscape orientation,the aera’s “virtual reality”flight graphics can beframed with GPS-derivedindications of ground track,altitude, groundspeed,vertical speed and turn indication. Geo-referenced FliteCharts®1,AeroNav IFR Enroute and VFR Sectionalcharts1 , SafeTaxi®1 diagrams, low andhigh altitude airways, and AOPA AirportDirectory 1 data all come pre-loaded.Plus, a built-in digital document viewerexpands the unit’s utility as an electronicflight bag (EFB) – enabling you to loadand view PDF documents, JPEG photos,and other electronically formattedmaterials of all kinds: Everything fromchecklists and raster charts to detailedperformance/procedural data from theaircraft flight manual. There’s also a convenient scratch pad for writingdown clearances or other important notes. For helicopter pilots(or others who sometimes need to navigate to specific ground locationsor addresses), the additional support of optional City Navigator® mappingallows the user to search and locate any desired surface address for useas a flight plan waypoint or for “direct-to” aerial navigation. And forpilots who prefer the Jeppesen format for charts and diagrams, Garminalso offers an electronic ChartView™ enablement option (subscriptionrequired), utilizing Jeppesen’s extensive data library to provide globalcharting capabilities. Moreover, if your flight planning takes you beyondthe shores of North America, your aera 796 is optionally available withan AC-U-KWIK international database which details airport directoryinformation on more than 7,800 locations worldwide.Situational awareness made simple.A true aviation portable, the aera 796’s physical design clearly enhancesease-of-use and adaptability in the cockpit.It’s sized to fit most aircraft yokes – or itcan comfortably be used as a knee-mounteddevice. There are four touchkeys on the bezelof the unit representing “Back”, “Menu”,“Direct-To” and “Nearest” selectionsfor quick navigation to frequently usedfunctions. Also, because the aera 796 menuis customizable, you can easily pick favoritefeatures or pages to anchor as icons along thebottom of the screen for even faster access.The touchscreen interface allows you to quickly pan across the map and“pinch zoom” to magnify or downscale map detail. Plus, with the flickof a finger, you can also rotate the 3D Vision vantage point completelyaround the aircraft for easy scanning of the surroundings. When flyingin areas or at altitudes where rising topography may pose a hazard, theaera 796 uses its terrain-alerting database to colorize the landscape –clearly showing with amber or red overlays those areas where potentialflight-into-terrain risks may exist. Likewise, any towers or obstacles thatmay encroach upon your flight path are color-highlighted and clearlydisplayed with height-appropriate symbology. The aera 796 also has theability to display TIS (traffic information service) alerts, where available,by connecting to a compatible traffic source such as Garmin’s GTX 330Mode S transponder.3D meets portability in the new aera ® of large-format touchscreensTwo times the connectivity.A second serial port gives the aera® 796 even more ability to connectand communicate with external cockpit systems than its predecessordesign. With two serial ports, pilots can display traffic informationor send frequencies to a Garmin SL30 or SL40 VHF radio, whilesimultaneously sending position information or other data to selectsystems or devices onboard the aircraft. A GXM 40 Smart Antenna,included with the aera 796, provides North American customers withaccess to datalinked NEXRAD imagery and other XM WX® satelliteweather capabilities – plus some 170+ channels of digital audioprogramming 2 through SiriusXM™ satellite radio. And because theGXM 40 is powered through the aera 796 with a USB connection,the setup is simple – allowing the satellite weather and radio functionsto operate for up to four hours without external power. Alternatively,for users in areas beyond the reach of XM coverage, Garmin’s aera 795model offers the same overall functionality as the 796, without theXM satellite weather/entertainment capabilities.Touchscreen interface with handy“pinch zoom” feature lets you quicklymagnify or downscale graphical detailwithin the viewing area by simplydragging your finger and thumbtogether (zoom out) or apart (zoom in).Geo-referenced U.S. FliteCharts come pre-loadedIFR map mode shows high and low enroute airwaysVFR Sectional chart data with geo-referencing isincluded for the U.S.Electronic checklist capabilitykeeps cockpit paperwork to aminimumPDF document viewer offerseasy access to aircraft flightmanual dataGO PAPERLESSJeppesen-format electroniccharts available with optionalChartView™AERA 796 HASA CONVENIENT“SCRATCH PAD”FOR WRITING DOWNCLEARANCESOR OTHER NOTES1 IFR FliteCharts, VFR Sectional charts, SafeTaxi and AOPA Directory are for U.S. only2 XM subscription required (sold separately).
