Garmin AERA 660 REVIEW Part One in my Aviat Husky tailwheel- -This is a comprehensive review of the Garmin Aera 660. this may be a bit long, but if you really are interested in this handheld, then you should watch on and enjoy. I am working on part two which will be from the air and with live streams!
I post all kinds of fun videos flying around the Northeast!
I am located in Manhattan and fly all over the Northeast and video the flights. Many of these video were simply created to keep a record of my flying as I transitioned from a Cirrus SR22 to a Husky A-1 - essentially going from a powerful nose wheel gear plane, to a powerful tail wheel plane! The two planes compliment each other extremely well and each have their own mission. I am no videographer, but have enjoyed learning imovie, and now Final Cut Pro as I make the videos better and better.
Please feel free to comment and provide feed back and I do appreciate you visiting my channel! -- and of course subscribing!
Also check out my current aviation project called www.sharemyaircraft.com! Sharemyaircraft.com is working to solve the unbelievable inefficiency in general aviation aircraft utilization whereby the average pilot flies 3.3 hours/month with their plane sitting on the ground 96% of the time. There are very few pilots/planes that would not benefit by being SHARED in the meantime. !

Thanks for the review. I love my 660. I still learned some things, though!

I couldn’t tell you about that product. But it connects automatically in my plane to the GDL 39.

Great video! A really dumb question: what you are showing here, is what you get with purchasing the AERO660? Or for getting the charts you have to purchase also the area charts, the maps and so on?

@TailWheelsRock 3 жыл бұрын

You get all of this when purchasing the 660.

Can I ask what mount you have for your 660 in this video?

@jp4163 7 ай бұрын

I just got the 660 installed in my Piper arrow but it doesn't connect automatically to my flighstream 210. I have go into the tools/bluetooth menu and click "connect" everytime I powerup my airplane. Isn't autoconnect working?

The ADS-B on a GTX345 will also provide the Aera with all services.

Could you please help me to know how to get an inexpensive ADS- B which is required by FAA. I have not flown for a while but in LA area I need to get it. Thanks!

Hi! Very useful! I liked the video and subsribe your channel! Can you draw some track route in Google Earth KML and export to this garming too? After this, can the Pilot fly and follow this KML line, directly on Garmin dislay, with his helicopter ou cessna?

Good beginning. However, all the LSAs coming out now have autopilots and the 660 is a good option to drive them. That's the info I need....

I don’t believe the 660 Can Drive an auto pilot, you will need something like the G5 as it Hass to be permanently installed in the airplane.

I’m sure you could get the 660 to drive an auto pilot but legally the auto pilot source Hass to be permanently built into the airplane for certified airplanes. Experimentals could not tell you.

@@TailWheelsRock Fortunately, in experimentals, there is no requirement that the GPS be permanently installed to direct the AP.

I recently did some upgrades to the Zenith CH-701 I built and have been flying for the past several years. Part of these upgrades was the Aera 660 from a 496. Also added a Dynon D100, AP-74(autopilot knobs), HS-34(HSI knobs and interface for any type of GPS or Nav radio) and 2 Dynon servos for pitch and roll and a GDL-39 3D.With the Aera 660 power/ data cable and a GDL-39 power data cable I hardwired the GDL-39 to the Aera 660, Hardwired the Aera 660 to the Dynon D100 through the HS-34, I connect the Aera 660 through Bluetooth to my IPad Pro and also Bluetooth the iPad Pro to my headset. Audio from Dynon and Aera660 is hardwired to intercom. With this I can use ForeFlight on my iPad to create a flight plan. Once plane is started and gps powered up I can press a button in ForeFlight to load it into the Aera 660. Once flying, hitting the nav button on autopilot the Aera 660 drives the autopilot. The Aera 660 also provides data to the Dynon to calculate winds aloft at current altitude and info to the HSI.
