You need an alarm clock to wake your ass up and get to work.

@itsalgud14596 жыл бұрын
Vic G I’m not familiar with that application, but in virtually every engineering calculation in my engineering career, a calculator was both many times faster and vastly more accurate, and way more dependable, as long as it had power! When I got my first TI scientific calculator, circa ‘74, an old German senior engineer told me calculators were “a passing fad”! He then questioned their accuracy, and we tested my calculator against his 4 place trig and log tables, and my calculator was accurate to 10 significant digits instead of 4, and I was sitting and waiting a minute or two on every calculation. As I left his office, he was still grumbling under his breath!😂 While I still love the beauty of a slide rule, for doing serious calculations I’ll take a scientific calculator every single time.🧐
@vicg53236 жыл бұрын
Itsalgud1 for engineering yes. For practical navigating the Weems slide rule wheel was faster especially during piloting. Powered devices are great when it’s power is available but what to do without it. Every engineer that became a navigator can attest to its speed and ease of use. Before the arrival of gps great accuracy was not usable as every aspect of navigating had a margin of error.
@bennylofgren32086 жыл бұрын
Vic G Exactly. And in aviation as well, modern glass cockpits with advanced computerized avionics are great, but like everything they can fail. And when they do, having a mechanical computer on your wrist that can make those navigational calculations for you can mean the difference between life and death. And often you don't need extreme precision either, a quick and accurate estimate is usually more than good enough.

Most people don't know how to use the E6B tool, and most pilots will tell you they never even need to. This is mostly true nowadays, but I can say that my E6B AOPA watch was extremely helpful on my multi-engine commercial checkride. The checkride began with a VFR cross-country diversion and I was told to utilize my E6B before checking my calculations with the garmin G430 in the plane. The only problem was that I forgot my E6B in my flight bag in the rear of the aircraft, well out of my reach (it was a Beechcraft BE-76 Duchess). So I simply used the E6B on my watch and got the numbers I needed. They checked out when compared against the G430 and I was able to continue (and pass) my checkride. Failing would have set me back quite a lot of money, so I was very glad I had my E6B watch with me that day. I still wear it, even though I am now flying Embraer E175s and will likely never need it for work.

Can you make a list of watches that aviators/pilots both general, commercial, and military use? Or make a list of what watches that you would recommend?

I’m a private pilot and avionics engineer and own a Navitimer. I’d personally prefer to do the math on paper as I’m way faster with the arithmetic then using the E6B on this watch but I have to give kudos to all the pilots that have flown in the earlier days when a calculator isn’t easily accessible. I know some airline pilots still use the slide rule on the watch but it takes time to get familiar with the indices and a little logic behind the decimal placement.

With a twist of the bezel complicated arithmetic becomes even more confusing than originally thought.

Brings back some good memories from the Jeppesen E6B :)

Wow. There I was just using the slide rule for simple stuff like multiplication, division and miles-km conversions!

I always thought I liked the style of the Navitimer. But within the first minute I recognised that the lume wasn’t applied in the middle of the markers and the red colour of the minute hand is not sharply finished at the end. I looked at many Breitlings, and thought they were always finished rather well. This one unfortunately seems not to be.

What is the model number of this watch? I love the dial and bezel but not seem to find it

In the meantime Casio has got a calculator in a watch. Almost an year back I learnt this stuff about the Navitimer. The calculation works because one of the scale is logarithmic thus creating a multiplication table for a chosen number, like you said.

This is still done as I am learning to fly. They still make you use a 30 quid slide computer (not electronic) which is a bigger dial face than this watch.
