91.205


No, FAR 91.205 permits a clock with a digital presentation. Apparently
cfeyeeye is not in the US.

When did that get ammended? I know when I first got my license it quite
definitely did NOT allow a digital presentation, so while everybody in the
club used digital clocks, we had to keep repairing recalcitrant built-in
analog clocks.

Steven,

I didn't realize the digital clock had been around that long.


If you like, rent the James bond movie "Live and Let Die" one of these
days. It has a scene where James (roger Moore) post-coitally (I think)
and very proudly presents his Seiko digital with glowing red LEDs to
the camera. Looks incredibly cheap these days. That movie is from 1972
- over 30 years.

I didn't say the digital clock hadn't been around a long time, I said I
didn't realize it had been around as long as Paul has had a license.

Huh? Ok, I'm confused. I haven't had my license all that long, only 10
years or so[1]. At that time, digital clocks were quite common, but we
had to keep repairing those stupid analog clocks in the planes rather than
just sticking on a digital timer. I thought that was because of 91.205,
but on second thought it might just be because the analog clock is listed
in the POH as equipment it was certificated with.

[1] I *started* working on my license 30 years ago (by joining the Royal
Canadian Air Cadets when I was 13), but quit the Air Cadets after a year
or two because of the preponderance of little Hitlers[2] and because in
all that time I got one short ride in a glider and 20 minutes in a C-172,
and put my dreams on hold until I could afford to do it out of my own
pocket.

[2] Interestingly enough, the Army Reserve had far fewer of these jerks
who think they're God because they've got one more stripe than you.

Sorry. My mistake. I got the impression you were much older.

Part of the issue is that your Westbend/RadioShack/etc timer isn't
installed in the airplane, so it doesn't count. What made the clock in the
panel magic was not that it had a second hand, but that it was mounted in
the panel.

So what? Where is it written that only the clock installed in the airplane
can be used for IFR operations?

Hmmm. Does anybody make a digital clock that's TSO'ed to replace a Piper
analog clock?
