ABSTRACT:
An improved timepiece to be worn by pilots of aircraft which provides a means to alert the pilot of multiple sequenced event occurrences, in a failsafe manner, via multiple alarm means including visual (29-32), auditory (36), and tactile (37) ability. The six in-flight timers, accessible through buttons (1-4), allow the pilot comprehensive user progranmable features in order to meet the needs of a given flight. This watch solves previously unrecognized problems with regard to in-flight timing needs in general aviation. This watch is an electronic watch, specifically designed for pilots to address the plurality of in-flight timing needs, and includes a failsafe method by which to alert the wearer of time reliant in-flight, and post-flight, event occurrences. This watch also provides instant access to Zulu time and all forty-two time zones around the world. This watch is designed to assist the pilot in his awareness of engine run time, fuel tank switching time, final approach fix to missed approach point time, countdown to instrument flight rule and visual flight rule minimums, time to fix, timed turns, holding pattern timing, and time to close flight plan.
