Re: Re: How important are watches when flying?
TonyC has a good point. I think that either your CFI is telling you to get all this crap and his laughing his a$$ off behind your back or you're just WAY to enthusiastic.
Enjoying aviation is a good thing, but find another hobby to enjoy as well.
TonyC said:1.) I don't wear sunglasses... still 20/10
2.) A headset is useful in noisy cockpits - - good advice.
3.) The only function required on a watch is accurate time.
I went all out and sprang for the $18 model at K-Mart. It also has the date on it, which is nice but not necessary. With a Bachelor of Science degree, I'd like to think I can add 6 to Central time to come up with UTC. If your CFI can't do that, then maybe he needs to pay for a wrist contraption that will do that for him.
If I were you, I'd be more interested in finding a better CFI - - one that's concerned more about actually flying than about "looking the part."
