I am in the market for a new watch and thought that if I am going to
be a pilot I would see if there was something that I could use to assist me in flying. My first thought was that something that was Indiglo with larger numbers so I could see it easily at night would be good as would one with two time zones so I can have one set to Zulu and one to local. A countdown timer and stopwatch might come in handy. I went looking on the 'Net and found watches with compasses and altimeters and even an E6-B but I question the value of those. If I am ever in a situation where my altimeter, gyro, wet compass and both GPS units , one a battery powered 96C, that show me heading and altitude in the plane have failed I should lose my license for not putting down long before I have to rely on a compass or altimeter in a wris****ch. For the people who have flown, have any of you found a watch with any special features that actually helped you in performing your piloting tasks? Thanks |
