PeteMc Posted May 25, 2024 Report Posted May 25, 2024 (edited) 2 hours ago, Ibra said: not having stopwatch for timed VOR is illegal Stopwatch? Don't you mean a clock? And note that the clock must be in the panel, your watch doesn't count. Not that you can't use a stopwatch, or a kitchen timer like I used to use before all the other timers appeared in my panel. But a stopwatch itself will make you illegal. ADDED: Just checked and I remember it saying it needed to be an installed clock, but it looks like that has changed to just a clock. REF: 91.205(d) (6) A clock displaying hours, minutes, and seconds with a sweep-second pointer or digital presentation. Edited May 25, 2024 by PeteMc 1 Quote

It’s much easier with NDB procedures flown with GPS and ADF, it lacks legal guidance on when to make “GPS/VLOC switch” Edited May 25, 2024 by Ibra Quote

I don't know when it changed from 91.33 to 91.205, but I guess that 2016 legal interp. was to put back in/clarify the "installed" part that was left out of the wording. Quote
