Electronic calculators
are now permitted - the only restriction being as stated in Standards Document 11 para 4.1.9:
4.1.9. NEVER allow the use of programmable electronic calculators 3, it is NEVER permitted.
3 defines the term 'programmable electronic calculators' as
'This means those calculators that contact (sic) Flight Calculation software'
'Flight Calculation software' is a very vague definition. If they mean 'those calculators that contain
navigation software', then they should say so.
