September 22, 20187 yr Hello, just a quick question: Is it possible to have both the digital and the analog clock shown in the flightdeck? Older 777's that get a software upgrade like f.e Austrian's 777 have both types installed. Thanks!

The whole benefit of the very expensive Boeing/Honeywell AIMS-2 upgrade (for older AIMS-1 equipped B777s) is to remove line replaceable units/items. Mainting two software clocks is a lot cheaper than maninting two physical clocks. I am sure Austrian will not have any problems sourcing replacement parts for their B777 clocks, thanks to all the feedstock from current -200 and -300 teardowns. Regardless it would be a lot more cost effective in the long run to simply remove them altogether. Edited September 23, 20187 yr by calzonister
