Garmin 430 question

[MLenoch]

Is there a time (Zulu or UTC) display in the Garmin?
The thought occurred to me that the GPS derives data from a satellite based
clock signal or such and thus, time ought to be available......so I think (!).
Thx,
VL

I have never seen a GPS without a clock output, although that does not
necessarily mean the clock output is convenient to use for navigation
purposes if you also need the NAV screens.

Did you check NAV page 5? Also ETA (either local or UTC) is available as a data
field on FPL page 1. The accuracy of the clock display should be sufficient,
approximately .01 microseconds of UTC.

I'm not quite sure of your question, the Garmin 430 manual lists the location
of time display in the index.

MLenoch,

Yes. There's a whole page with timers, flight time (based on when a
certain threshold speed is exceeded) and of course UTC. It's in the AUX
pages.
