DIGITAL CHRONOMETER/CLOCK (OPTIONAL)
The digital chronometer/clock provides the flight crew with Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT), local time (LOC), elapsed time (ET), chrono time
(CHR), DATE, and flight number. It includes tactile dome switches and
an additional functionality: the synchronization with GPS. Also, the
chronometer time – minutes and seconds – is presented in digital form
(instead of indicating seconds in analog form by a sweep hand).
The instrument is powered by the airplane's electrical system and an
internal battery. When the airplane is deenergized, the displays are
blanked, although the functions continue to be updated in the
memories with exception of the ET and chronometer functions. Display
may also blank when a failure exists in the instrument.
