CRP-1 Computer
Hi all,
Just started my navigation theory for the PPL and its my understanding that a "slide rule" type computer such as the CRP-1 must be used for a number of calculations.
I have an I phone "app" that gives the same answers as the crp-1 and is a lot easier to use (admittedly I am not very experienced with the CRP-1). I guess that there are a number of other "bespoke" digital devices available too.
Was wondering what experienced PPs use? i.e. Are pilots moving away from the old slide rule type machine in favour of electronic calculators? And if they are, why are the training protocols sticking with the old slide rule approach?
Cheers,
