The IFR 152 I have been flying and doing a good portion of my instrument training in has an inoperative panel clock. Owner has opted not to fix due to its uselessness and expense. A sporty's flight timer is fixed next to it, and does a much better job.
I know this is required equipment for IFR operations. My concern is if I am going to be able to take a checkride in this airplane or not. I know most checkrides are done in VMC with the DPE acting as atc. So technically would be legal ... but will a DPE let this slide?
P.S. The airplane is well-maintained... records are good and the panel clock is the only squawk.
