Page 6: Setting The Time
6 setting the time 1. Pull out the crown at the 3 o’clock position so that is clicks once. Rotate the crown clockwise until the hour hand lines up with the current hour. 2. To set the minute hand, pull the crown out so that it clicks twice. Rotate the crown clockwise until the minute hand lines up w...
Page 7: Setting Zulu Time
7 setting zulu time your abingdon watch should already be set, but you may need to reset it after a battery replacement. Here’s how. Example: los angeles time: 9:00am greenwich mean time: 4:00pm (of the same day) 1. Pull the crown at the 3 o’clock so that it clicks twice. Make sure to stop the secon...
Page 8: Setting The Date
8 setting the date 1. Pull out the crown at the 3’oclock position so that it clicks once. Rotate the crown counterclockwise until the correct date is shown in the date box. Note: i recommend setting the date between the hours of 5am and 5pm to ensure the date will change the following day. 2. Push t...
Page 9: The E6B
9 the e6b your abingdon watch has an e6b slide rule along the inside of the bezel which can be rotated by a crown located at the 8 o’clock position. Practice using the e6b as it can help you everywhere! Traveling, flying, math class, even driving. It may look a little overwhelming at first, but afte...

10 when these two rings match, you have a ratio of 1:1. So now rotate the number 30 on the outer scale so that it is in line with the red 60 on the middle scale. 30 is half of 60 so you have now just created a ratio of 2:1 (two “30s” equal one “60”). Notice that 35 is over 70 and 40 is over 80. You ...

11 multiplication whenever you want to multiply something quickly you can use your abingdon watch. To do so, you must set one of the numbers on the outer ring to the 10 on the middle ring. It doesn’t matter which one. For example, 5 x 7 (we’re going to start off easy).
Page 12
12 1. Rotate the number 50 on the outer ring to the number 10 on the middle ring. (notice that there is not a “5” on the outer ring? We are going to treat 50 like it is actually 5.0). Leave it there. 2. Find the number 70 on the middle ring (make sure to treat the number 70 like it is actually the n...
Page 13
13 3. Let’s do the same problem the other way. Line up the 70 on the outer ring with the 10 on the middle ring. Find the 50 on the middle ring and look! It again reads 35! Remember, it doesn’t matter which number you line up with the 10 on the middle ring. Practice these multiplication problems: 9 x...
Page 14
14 2. Rotate the 15 so that it is in line with the 50 (5.0 remember?) on the middle ring. 3. Now look at the 10 on the middle ring and read the number on the outer ring. It will say 30 or as we know, 3.0! Answer: 15/5 = 3! Let’s try a few practice problems. 230/5 = 46 5/2 = 2.5 (remember that decima...
Page 15
15 note: one thing you may have noticed starting off is that it seems that each number can be anything you want it to be. For example, 1 can be 1, 10, 100, 1000, or .1, .01 and so on. Depending on each problem, you will have to decide which value you need. If you choose 10 to represent the number “1...

16 ring (it’s around the one o’clock position). If you look opposite the 70 on the inner ring, you will see 1:10. 70 minutes is 1 hour and 10 minutes! See if you can go around the entire face changing the hours to minutes. Take your abingdon watch off your wrist first, though or else you’ll twist yo...

17 example 1: let’s say your plane flies at 150 knots per hour. You want to find out how long it will take to fly 90 nautical miles. (if you don’t know how to convert statute miles to nautical miles, see the conversions chapter on page 26). 1. Rotate the outer ring so that 15 (signifying 150) is in ...
Page 18
18 in fact, you can choose any distance and, as long as you leave the rate set, you can figure out how long it will take you to fly any distance. For practice, set your plane’s cruise speed to the rate and find out how long it will take to go: 25 nautical miles 60 nautical miles 350 nautical miles.
Page 19: Inner Ring = Time In Hours
19 speed calculations before i forget, i want to mention one thing. Remember that the outer ring will always be distance and speed. The middle and inner ring will always be time (minutes on the middle ring, hours on the inner ring). Keep this in mind for the upcoming speed/time/distance problems out...
Page 20
20 example 2: you flew 130 knots (distance) and it took you 47 minutes (time). What was your average speed? 1. Rotate the outer ring so that 130 (13 will represent 130 in this example) is in line with 47. 2. Your speed is found on the outer ring opposite the rate arrow. In this case your average spe...
Page 21
21 distance calculations for distance problems, you can figure this out once you have the time and speed. Example 3: you are traveling at 150 knots per hour (speed) and you want to know how far you will go after 20 minutes (time). 1. Rotate the outer ring so that 15 is in line with the red 60 (rate)...
Page 22
22 here are some practice problems to try: speed time distance 125kts _______ 524nm _______ 2:30 345nm 110kts 1:40 _______.

23 fuel consumption calculations fuel burn rate let’s say you wanted to find out how much fuel you burned per hour while you were on your 6 ½ hour flight. After you landed and filled up the tank, you noticed that your tank took 17 gallons. Here is how you would find your fuel burn rate: 1. First, se...
Page 24
24 now you can also find out other information using this example. Let’s say your fuel burn rate is 26 gph (gallons per hour) and you want to find out how long you could get on a full tank of usable fuel. If a full tank of gas was equal to 140 gallons (which you should know if you are flying a plane...
Page 25
25 2. Now find 14 (representing 140 gallons) on the outer ring. 3. Opposite 14, you should see 5:20 or as it is read on the middle ring, 32 (which represents 320 minutes). Therefore, you can go 320 minutes on a full tank of gas!.

26 conversions statute to nautical this one is as easy as pie. On the outer ring, there is a red double-edged arrow around the number 70. On one side it has the word “naut,” for nautical and on the other side the word “stat,” for statute. All you do is just put the figure you want to convert under o...
Page 27
27 statute to kilometers to convert statute to kilometers, you will use the same idea as converting statute to nautical miles, but slightly different. Find the word “stat” on the middle ring. It is located about 1 o’clock. Note: this is not the same “stat” on the outer ring. Now find the “km” writte...
Page 28
28 before, put the figure you want to convert over one arrow and see what the conversion is under the other arrow. Using the arrows on your abingdon watch, you can also convert easily: feet pounds meters liters imperial gallons fuel pounds us gallons oil pounds kilograms currency here is how to make...

29 represents $1.00 usd and 73 represents €.73 euro. Leave it there. 2. The outer ring will now always be us dollars and the middle ring will always be euros. So now if something costs €90.00, look at the 90 on the middle ring of your abingdon watch and you will see it lines up with the 124 on the o...
