They are genuinely not as good. Used correctly, as I taught you, the CRP-5 is quicker and you are less likely to make a silly error. Visual representation prevents much of the finger trouble that gets the wrong answer on an electronic calculator.
I took on a student who had failed Gen Nav twice - having taken his electronic calculator in without the invigilators noticing. He had US and Canadian licences, and was converting without bothering to do the whole course so didn't know how to use the CRP-5. I showed him how, covered a few other bits of the syllabus, he took the CRP-5 in instead and passed.
Anyway, your point is lost on the thread as TS has to address reality, where he cannot use an electronic computer legitimately.
