Flight Timer

[Bo_Hannington]

The D180 includes the usual timers, including "Flight Timer". The manual says this timer counts the time since powerup while the oil pressure is above 15psi (and it's true, this is what mine does). Why not instead the time while the Airspeed is reading anything above 0kts? This would be a better "Flight Timer".
With many short flights while I flight test my new beast, I accumulate a significant difference in Flight time vs the Dynon Flight Timer.

The timer in the D180 is really part of the EMS, which is why it's totally oil pressure based. The same timer exists in the EMS-D10 and the EMS-D120.

There's not currently any flight timers on any of our EFIS products but it is on or list.
