Tied Down
Okey dokey... just for fun.
The airplane has to have a clock for IFR per 91.205.
And most Cessna clocks died 10 or 20 years ago. Not to mention they're pieces of... ummm... eight. :wink2:
Renters: How do you deal with it?
Owners: What do you replace crappy Cessna factory clocks with in the panel? (Or is yours dead too? Shh. We won't tell.)
I have timers out the wazoo on board (there's at least four devices I can time things with in the "stuff" I have on-board or is already in the airplane)... and one of them is prominently strapped to the yoke in front of me, so that's not the problem.
Mostly I'm just curious about whether or not I have to fix the stupid Cessna clock prior to taking a checkride in the bird. I've seen digital replacements, and fancy stuff to fill that hole if we had the old one yanked, but ... really?
I could really care less about the dumb thing, it's in an awful location on our panel to be involved in a normal scan anyway.
