How to use the digital clock

Recommended Posts

As title describes, i am familiar with the analog clock, but some of my planes have a digital clock built into PFD, how do i start the elapsed time for this clock?

Hi,

 

The timer will stop and start automatically at takeoff and landing. You don't need to do anything.

Ah? That was like that in my memory but I may be wrong.

 

Edit: I confirm that it should work automatically (it is triggered on and off by the ground sensor):

I took off but nothing happened to the clock on the PFD nothing started

Keep in mind it'll stay at 00:00 until a full minute has elapsed.

on the little panel to your left is a clock button. press it and it starts the timer. I use it to time block time and if the old clock, the other side runs the timer for takeoff to landing, and ET does it automatically in the digital clock - David Lee

Just be glad that this thing doesn't have a damn DAVTRON clock in it...I have over 5000 hours in three airplanes with that damn thing and I STILL struggle with using it!!!
