IF you're like me, before you go flying you'll have a fresh log on your kneeboard ready for all those frequencies, QNHs, etc. But in reality, that ATIS report or ATC clearance often ends up on the nearest patch of white paper!

What's more frustrating is when you've written takeoff and landing times but end up losing them among the clutter of everything else.

One light aircraft and microlight pilot, sick writing engine on and engine off times on a scrap of paper, has come up with this clever aviation watch called the 'Pilotime'.

With the simple press of a button, the Pilotime watch records and retains the time for engine on, engine off and total flight time for up to 99 flights. This includes the total logged hours so you can keep track of how many flying hours you have at a press of a button.

Pilotime's inventor, Kevin Smith, told LOOP: "Whether I sell one or 100, I'm pleased that I've finally got something that works for me!"

You can also record times between waypoints - up to 20 sectors. Also, if the sector distances are entered prior to the flight, the watch will give average speeds. This function can also be used on its own as a speed/distance/time calculator.

Time can be displayed in 12 or 24-hour format and the alarm can either be a flashing backlight or audible signal. Six timers are available and can be used as fuel reminders, or to prompt when to carry out in-flight engine, aircraft and navigation checks.

Pilotime is designed with large, clear lettering for easy reading in flight, large buttons and is fully waterproof for all types of flying. The big strap also means it can fit round thick clothing worn by microlight pilots. -
