Want to give your dreams of flight in 2020 an amazing flying start? Garmin Aviation has teamed up with FLYER to offer one lucky reader the chance to win £1,500 towards their flight training, plus an aera 660 Portable Navigator, RRP £720
If you’re new to flying, and haven’t started learning yet, then £1,500 could get you flying solo. If you’re already a PPL and like the idea of training to fly tailwheel, aerobatics, or even for your Instrument Rating, then £1,500 could help you achieve that goal.
“For decades, Garmin has pioneered GPS navigation in the cockpit and has teamed up with FLYER to giveaway an aera 660 to one lucky pilot.”
The aera 660 Portable Navigator
The aera 660 aviation portable puts the latest Garmin technology in the palm of your hand, and it carries on Garmin’s tradition of creating innovative navigators that go way back to the beginning of handheld aviation GPS. While aera 660 is light, compact and fits in any flight bag, it’s also packed with capabilities. As a dedicated navigator, it quickly and reliably acquires GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations and combines advanced navigation tools with rich, interactive, dynamically drawn aviation maps. And it displays it all on a bright, sunlight-readable 5-inch diagonal capacitive touchscreen display.
The icons on the aera 660 are instantly familiar to anyone who’s used a Garmin GTN™ touchscreen GPS/NAV/COMM, G5000® integrated flight deck or even the Garmin Pilot™ app, and the intuitive interface allows you to quickly pan across the map screen, pinch to zoom and more. Meanwhile, the power button on the top accesses quick settings, including portrait or landscape orientation, volume and brightness.
Complete Flight Mapping
The aera 660 aviation portable comes preloaded with detailed flight mapping, terrain and obstacles alerting, U.S., European and Canadian SafeTaxi® charts and AOPA Airport Directory or optional AC-U-KWIK global airport directory to put a wealth of resources right at your fingertips. The graphical Terrain page offers both overhead and vertical profile views of the topography beneath you. Switch to IFR map mode to display and navigate on high or low enroute airways, and use your touchscreen map cursor to reference MEAs (Minimum Enroute Altitudes) and distances between intersections. The aera 660 even provides vertical navigation (VNAV) guidance to simplify en-route transitions.
You’ll stay aware of special airspace activity and get 1-touch airspace information. Garmin Smart Airspace™ guidance conveniently highlights the airspace nearest your current altitude and de-emphasises non-pertinent airspace so you can quickly identify your location relative to the airspace around you. And, of course, the aera 660 includes our signature direct-to and nearest-airport navigation.
