Garmin posted System 4.7 for the Aera 796 today

If you have the Flight Stream 210 and the GDL 88, you should now have ADS-B Weather and Traffic on the 796 along with Attitude on the 3D Page without the need for the GDL 39.  I'm headed out to the airport to try it out.

Don,

Who did your Flight Stream installation? Are the units available now? I have the GDL 88 and a panel mounted AERA 796. I want the Flight Stream unit to use with Foreflight on a Mini iPad to act as a back up back up AI. I had not thought about using the 796 as an AI

Well, as is par for the course, all is not well with the Flight Stream 210 Aera 796 interface.  On flight test today, there  was no ADS-B Weather or TIS-B Traffic. Also, on the 796 AI 3D page, the slip indicator did not work.  Has anyone else tested out the interface who could also confirm my findings?

Sounds like a first generation Garmin product. I went through three new GTN 750s before I received a well working unit. Since then, it has been flawless. Glad you are the pioneer, Don.
