Analog clocks and 15 seconds

[bimmerphile]

I seriously appreciate that I’m the only one that voted for yes.

nope, I do it too. I'm guessing it's a 145 habit with having the flight number on the clock

Uhhh no that’s weird. I bet you use paper sectionals. What’s your opinion on sbarros?

My favorite place to get a New York slice!

How are you on driving in the left lane?

My wife doesn’t believe me that it’s illegal to do that.

My first jet. I’m not alone here, almost every jet I get in the clock looks like this.

What is the purpose of this 15 second thing?

Get the hand out of the way.

Get the hand out of the way.

Interesting! Never thought of that!

You could also do 45 seconds. It's almost like an In n Out or Five Guys debate.

I’ve seen some plebs use 10 seconds but that grates my sense of purpose and design.

I don’t know what the FO is doing over there. Ha!

I'm sorry...I don't see the point of this. We have analog clocks and use them during start. Are y'all just anal or something?

 

[bLizZuE]

What’s the point of anything?

Walked onto the jet, sat down, built my nest, and set the clock to 15 seconds to move the analog hand out of the way of the clock. Captain came in from doing the walk around (THE HORROR!) we exchanged pleasantries and he resets the clock to zero.

What say you, internet buddies, regarding ye olde analog clock?

So, are your clocks synced? How did he reset your clock? Is there only one clock in the cockpit?

I need more information...

I don’t get it. If it’s at the 60 position, what’s it covering? Looks like it would split the 20:33 right at the “:” mark.

Only one.

Parallax.

Ha, the other dude is an FO! You didn't say "co-pilot"

Ok, but does this second hand move on its own? If so then moving it wouldn't make sense. If it's stationary, then what's the point of it? If it doesn't move, I can see why you might want to have it point at :15 or :45.
