JoeAce Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 I don't understand how the 4 digit number can be considered as mission time. For example: 4311 <-- how do you interpret this as mission time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederf Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) MMSS since first engine generator came online. It wraps around to 0000 after 5959. You don't see it displayed until after takeoff. If you start hot there's some randomization code in there.

FightsOn Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 It’s not since engine start. It’s Zulu time in minutes seconds. It’s called TISM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't TISM a Rhino thing? Legacy NATOPS section 2.13.4.2.1 describes the MENU option replaced with the system time with weight off wheels. Unless system time is synonymous with Zulu in this case.

May I further ask on which occasions will the Elapsed Time count being used (the one below the bingo fuel setting), as sometimes I used this ET right before takeoff to count the time elapsed after takeoff.

I did a cold start on the runway, started the airplane and took off, and noted the time. The time was something like 2:58. I took the current time in mission and then subtracted 2:58 from it. Then I went back to the track replay to see what happened at T-2:58. It was the exact moment the engine generator cut in on the #1 engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
