Page 3: Setting The Day And Time
Compass Speed Index Inner scale Control turning bezel Hour hand Crown Outer scale Day indicator (of the week) Normal Date setting Day and time position position setting position Second hand Minute hand 24 hour hand Date indicator SETTING THE DAY AND TIME (The hour, 24 hour, minute, second, and day are set by the same operation. - Page 4 (2) Setting the Time After setting the day, set the hour (and 24 hour) and minute hands. Turn the hour/minute hands clockwise to set the time. To ensure the time is set accurately, first turn the minute hand five minutes ahead of desired time and then turn back (counterclockwise) to the desired time.
- Page 5 USING SLIDE RULE This rule is good for… Multiplication Division Proportion Square root Time required Fuel consumption Estimated flight time Other flying problems Note: Use the control turning bezel located above the crown to move the outer scale. This scale cannot place a decimal point; therefore, the calculation of this watch should be used as a guide only.
- Page 6 (2) Knots (Air Speed) Example: Obtain the knots (air speed for 240 nautical miles with a flight time of 1 hour and 20 minutes. Operation: Align "24" on the outer scale with "80" on the inner scale (time scale). Then, the SPEED INDEX on the inner scale corresponds to "18"...
- Page 7 (5) Fuel Consumption Example: Obtain the fuel consumption required for a flight when the fuel consumption is 236 gallons an hour and the flight time is 9 hours. Operation: Align "23.6" on the outer scale with the SPEED INDEX on the inner scale. Then, "9:00" on the inner scale (time scale) corresponds to "35"...
- Page 8 (8) Rate of Climb (or Descent) The rate of climb (or descent) can be obtained from the time required to reach an altitude. Example: Obtain the rate of climb when an aircraft reaches an altitude of 7,500 feet after climbing for 25 minutes. Operation: Align "75"...
- Page 9 (10) Conversion Example: Convert 45 statute miles into nautical miles and kilometers. Operation: Align "45" on the inner scale with STAT on the outer scale. Then, NAUT on the outer scale corresponds to "39" nautical miles on the inner scale and "KM" on the outer scale corresponds to "72"...
- Page 10 (13) Proportion Example: 30/10 = 60/x Operation: Align "30" on the outer scale with "10" on the inner scale. Then, "60" on the outer scale corresponds to "20" on the inner scale. At this point the proportion for every value and the inner and outer scales is 30:10.
