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.
