IRS alignment timer

Hello I saw something a while back where by someone said the IRS alignment process has a timer to alignment I have never seen a timer for the alignment, does it exist, thanks

Yes there is: on the IRS panel there should be a rotary just underneath where the numbers should be in yellow? Turn that to the leftmost position (but not the test position).

PMDG NGX FCOM Vol. 2, page 818 : " HDG/STS –• left window displays present true heading• right window displays any applicable maintenance status codes• during alignment, right window displays minutes remaining until alignment is complete. For alignments greater than 15 minutes, the window displays 15 until the time remaining reaches 14 minutes. The display then counts down in one minute intervals. " So if you move the display selector to "HDG/STS" position during alignment, you should read time remaining before end of alignment.

Yep!I didn't want to say it because often I get run over for saying it..But needless to say, it still applies more often than people dare to admit.
