Does an altimeter measure?
An altimeter is a device that measures altitude—a location’s distance above sea level. Most altimeters are barometric, meaning they measure altitude by calculating the location’s air pressure. They determine altitude by measuring air pressure. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases.
How much is a Garmin 430?
Garmin has flat-rate pricing of almost $900 for the GNS430W, which means you want to buy from a reputable source (preferably an established avionics shop) that can test the unit for signs of failure.
Do you need a panel mounted clock for IFR?
During instrument training I, and many of my fellow pilot friends, were taught that the clock (as mentioned in 91
Where is the chronometer located on an aircraft?
Aircraft Clocks (Chronometer) Whether called a clock or a chronometer, an FAA-approved time indicator is required in the cockpit of IFR-certified aircraft. Pilots use a clock during flight to time maneuvers and for navigational purposes. The clock is usually mounted near the flight instrument group, often near the turn coordinator.

When do you need a second accurate time indicator in IFR?
In IFR the pilot needs to have a second-accurate time indicator for a variety of maneuvers. For example, the standard holding pattern is 1 minute turns and 1 minute straight legs. Having the number of seconds allows the pilot to fly these maneuvers accurately.
