I just got my unit and it looks fantastic and does pretty much what I want and need but I've got a question about the flight duration timer. Not sure if I've missed something or whether this is how it works normally. I've noticed that each time you stop the aircraft the flight duration timer resets. Start up at the hanger, get the unit booted up and start rolling toward the runway. When you stop at any intersection the timer resets, when you stop at the end of the taxiway or runway for the runup the timer resets. It would be nice if there was some way to manually start and stop the timer. Its in a very convienient location to be used as a flight timer and for logging time on the flight there is no FAA requirement for the wheels to be off the ground so a non-self resetting timer would be nice. I realize that there should be some reliable timer for keeping track of flight time and there is a clock on the unit, we can use the tach or hourmeter but the timer on the unit could be very useable if it didn't reset at each stop.
Thanks
