I’d find it useful on have an on-screen stopwatch tab (simple start/stop/reset loop). Perhaps a selectable option for the ‘go flying’ tab menu on the LHS. Any thoughts?

Hi everybody,
I come back to this post. I already sent my proposal to SD Customer Support and the answer was that most tablets have a timer available. That's true, and I can accept that answer.

But I'm coming back to my suggestion just to see if other pilots find it also useful to have a stopwatch under SD.

In my old navigation program, I had a stopwatch that started automatically when the speed of the aircraft exceeded 15Kt. In principle, when this speed is reached, it is that we are in the takeoff phase and no more in taxi phase.

I found it very handy in flight, because how many times does a pilot forget to start his stopwatch at the moment to take off (or at every turning point).

Of course, this stopwatch could be cut, restarted ...

Is this interest of a so a stopwtch shared by other pilots?

Thank you for your attention.
