All depends on the calc, and how flexible it is, I would recommend the Casio FX series, just have to type "cos47 x 4500 =" you should get an answer of 3068.99

I assume you are doing Gnav, and the 4500 is NM or km

Casio FX series are allowed; in fact any calculator as long as it is non-programmable.

Whichever calculator you buy, read through the instructions as some can have a different logic to others. I have one casio calculator where I would have to type 47cos and another cos 47.
