Timer

What is the idea behind that clock resets after 99min ?

How to get info about total flight time ?

You are usimg the stopwatch function.

On the digital clock there are four corners, each with some buttons, press the ET button which is located in the left bottem corner to let the timer start, keep in mind that you won't see the needle moving, to stop it press it again.

Maybe i missed, but i could not find clock explanation in manual, but thanks for feedback.

there is a little bit of a difference compared to the ngx, on the 747 you have to right click the ET needle to the run position, and left click to hold to pause it and left again to reset.

 

Also during this you can also use the Chrono without resetting the other timer :smile:

Hi,

 

For the clock of the 747, have a look at the FCOM page 10.10.95

Before you takeoff, start the elapsed time. It shows 0000 and then starts at 1 minute and keeps track of your flight time. If you run the chronograph as a stopwatch, when you reset it, the ET will have been running in the background and still show your flight time. In the -8, what is nice is that the clock is gone and the ET is completely automatic on the status page, the UTC time is on your ND and the status page and the chronograph is also on the ND and replaces UTC time when you use it, much nicer.
