CHRONO
The stopwatch is an independent chronometer that can be used to measure elapsed time
(e.g., measure the time it takes to run down a ridge and back).
When in TIME or CHRONO display, use a short press on the
START/STOP/RESET Key (the up arrow) to start and stop the
stopwatch. There are instances where the stopwatch is not
displayed depending on which mode the instrument is in –
however it will continue to run until it is stopped (or the instrument
is switched off). A three-second press on the
START/STOP/RESET Key will reset the stopwatch to zero.
Flight Timer
The flight timer is an independent stopwatch, which starts automatically after you switch on
the instrument. Each call of a set-mode resets the flight timer clock to 00:00. If the Set-
Mode is accessed, as long as the 6005/10 has not recognized that a flight has begun, the
flight timer will reset to zero.
This feature can be used to obtain an accurate start time for the flight timer. For example,
press and hold the Alt1 Key just prior to takeoff, make a last minute adjustment to the
altitude (if necessary), let the instrument return to the normal flight display on its own and
then launch; the instrument will now have your actual start time for the logbook. The flight
timer runs until you switch the instrument off and will be stored in the logbook (see
Logbook).
