Garmin Aera 660: The aera 660 is the ultimate all-in-one aviation device - like a glass cockpit in the palm of your hand.

It features a solid-state design with no warmup time, lower power consumption and much lower heat emissions. It provides 200 watts nominal power output and has an easy-to-read DSTN liquid crystal display which reverses the numbers out of black for optimal viewing. An innovative keypad makes entering a squawk code a snap, and a dedicated VFR button allows for quick-and-easy VFR squawking. The 327 also offers several timing and display functions, including flight time, count-up and count-down timers, as well as current pressure altitude. Garmin GTR 225 Radio: Worldwide Comm Database Enter the airport identifier to find the frequency (or frequencies) associated with that location.

Select to view pressure or temperature on the digital display using the toggle switch on the front panel. OTP-1 measure to 1 PSI and oil temperature to 1°F on the digital display. It incorporates an external pressure transducer and temperature probe that are mounted in the engine compartment. The instrument is backlit for night operation. VA-1A Volts/Amps Instrument: High volts warning light will alert if the bus voltage rises to 15.3 volts or higher. Discharge warning light will alert if the bus voltage drops below 12.6 volts. Mode switch allows easy switching between volts and amps. Backlit digital display can be viewed easily in dim light, high ambient light and/or direct sunlight.

Can be connected to a compatible GPS unit to further enhance the display capabilities to include Fuel to Destination, Fuel Reserve, Nautical Miles per Gallon and Statute Miles per Gallon. Safe Flight Stall Warning System: Warns by light and horn of any danger of an approaching stall regardless of the flight maneuver. Never signals unless a stall is imminent. Consists of an instrument panel unit (fits standard 2-1/4" hole) containing a warning horn and signal light, and a small vane wing unit which operates a relay. Operation of the instrument does not depend upon air speed but rather on the air flow conditions of the wing.
A complete airframe restoration was performed by American Champion in 2020. The airframe was placed in a jig and no adjustments were needed. A new wing set, to include upgraded ailerons, was installed. The restoration was completed with a stunning factory paint job to include wheel pants (not currently installed).
