We have 2 Westbend timers (around $5-$8) velcroed to the panel. They

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that you need to have an "official" clock
in the plane to fly actual. Doesn't mean that you have to use it, but I
believe it has to be there and has to be working. We are replacing ours
right now. (Seems like a silly reg.)

The clock works, but the integral yoke time doesn't. I don't find
clocks all that useful for timing approaches. I'd rather have a time
that simply counts up from zero.
