Timing an approach... Probably the most important thing that clock can do...

That LB clock should be able to handle it...

The other multifunction devices... the clock and timer are on different pages than their other primary functions...

 

In some cases... there are apps that work better for timing things...  but the panel or yoke mounted clock is always there to do that one important thing... visibly display time and/or timer...

Best regards,

Instead of trying to get around the regulation, Maybe someone could petition the FAA to change the regulation. It is clearly obsolete.

Nothing in attached document above leads me to believe the FAA folks don’t think the regulation is unneeded. Their job is to get everybody to comply with the regulations. So change the regulations.

I recall that way back around 1990 Hal Shevers (Sportys founder for those that don’t know) petitioned the FAA to allow the substitution of a backup attitude indicator for a T&B/turn coordinator.  How many years did that take?

Sure, but I’m sure there is a procedure for it. Wouldn’t hurt to fill out the forms and send them in and see what happens.

The only thing definitive here is "no wrist watch". There are still a number of questions that are unanswered. 

So I'm not asking the question. My Mooney, with an IFD540, has a clock. As far as I'm concerned, case closed.
