Concept 1.
The Pocket Pro Pilot App, Pocket Pro HL400-P, provides flight times and fuel times for
pleasure and general aviation pilots.
Thanks to the 2 specific modes, the pilot can record and monitor flight time and fuel time
consecutively (up to 100 flight times memorized).
The Pocket Pro electronic stopwatch is the latest in TAG Heuer's Professional Timing
development regime. In addition to the three exclusive timing modes dedicated to General
Aviation and Pleasure pilots, this 1/100th second handheld timepiece also encompasses
standard stopwatch modes, including Split / Lap time measurement, countdown, and timing
based on time of day.
Together with its integrated USB connector; free POCKET MANAGER Application and
Pocket-Pro 800 measurements internal memory, the device makes the downloading,
analysis, printing and archiving of results extremely simple.
Results can also be viewed or printed from your laptop or pc instantly.
Note:
Pressing the hard reset (to the right of the USB connector) resets the Lock
Time value to 0.01 sec (minimum)

Specific Pilot Timing Modes 3.
In the Pocket Pro Pilot, 2 specific modes are available
A: Flight Time
In this mode, it is possible to record and monitor flight time with the
date/time of take-off and date/time of landing.
Up to 100 flights can be stored on the Pocket Pro.
B: Tank operating time.
This mode enables the Pilot to define up to 6 fuel tanks. For each of them,
it is possible to set a count-down value, and reset them individually.
Specifics of Pocket Pro Pilot :
•Pocket Pro Pilot enables the user to use mode A and B simultaneously: It is
also possible to switch between A and B and vice versa, to monitor either the
fuel tank timer or flight timer as required.
•Reset Mode A or B, will erase only the time and information of the present
mode (reset : start/stop + Memory)
•It is possible so start and Stop the two modes A and B simultaneously from
Mode B only
