Calculators in ATPL Theory Examinations

Hi there,

Today I sat ATPL Mass & Balance. Half way through the exam a gentleman walked in and announced that our scientific calculators we were all using were not allowed. We were made to use the standard windows calculator with no scientific functions. When a student challenged him saying he was wrong he raised his voice claiming "IT IS THE LAW".

As far as I am aware only graphic calculators are forbidden. How are we suppose to do calculations that require trigonomic functions without a scientific calculator? If anyone has any reference I can use or if anyone could tell me I am wrong I would appreciate it.

For reference the calculator I was using is a Casio fx-350MS. http://world.casio.com/edu/product/e...p_fx350ms.html

The (sorry excuse for a) JAA State was Greece.

Regards,
