Hey guys,

I'm almost close to taking my flight test and I always do my calculations on the CX-2 because to be honest I hate the damn E6B, it's confusing especially for calculating in-flight.

For my canadian fellows, I tried looking up on the transport canada website and I can't find anywhere they say they allow or prohibit the CX-2. My instructor told me that I should know how to use it. I mean I can use it but I'm just not very proefficient at it.

hope someone can answer

especially for calculating in-flight.

Not in Canada, but I would expect my students to do any in flight calculations mentally, not using some calculating device that puts your head inside!:bored:

Instructor may want to check his reference material.

Certain flight computers, including the CX-2, ARE allowed. See Accepted Electronic Computers - Transport Canada (http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/general-exams-computers-2179.htm)
