Once you are in the air there is only one bit of calculating equipment needed - does not need batteries and is hands free.
What is this magic bit of kit - The brain! All you need is a bit of very simple programming and you can do all the required working out to a satisfactory degree of accuracy. Also works for gross error checking on the more accurate electronic and mechanical calculating devices.
