Clock Question
This may sound simplistic and I may be missing it, but from what little information I can find it appears that the clock on the Q400 only functions as a stopwatch and not elapsed time as is the case on many other aircraft. Am I wrong?
The ET button, only appears to toggle the ET digits between 00 and blank. The CHR starts the clock, but when you press it, it blanks the digits under ET. You then have to press the ET button to get the digits to display and when you do you have to press ET again to view the minutes that have passed.
BTW, What does ET, CHR and CHT stand for and what are the digits under ET and CHT supposed to represent? The clock seems to be a big mystery. The information I could find came from Google AI and not from any publication I could find.
Thank you..

Hi,
On https://www.smartcockpit.com/my-aircraft/bombardier-dash-8-400/ in the manual "Q400 Indicating and Recording Systems" you will find in detail, how to operate the clock. Many questions could be answered reading these documents.

Thanks.. I looked at that doc before posting, but completely missed it. Your eyes are certainly better than mine. :-)
