Why would anyone need 6 approach timers?
MJ, women are better at multitasking than we are. Maybe the answer lies in there somehow?
The official explanation in the ASA flight timer instruction booklet was that you could preset each of these timers to countdown from a set value, and you would look at your approach plates for the approaches you flew most and set six values accordingly. So the APP1 timer would be the NDB approach for your home field, APP2 would be the VOR approach for your favourite destination, and so forth.
I'll leave the poking of holes in this explanation to other readers of this forum.
