Pooleys CRP-5
Does anyone know where I can score one of these flight computers within Australia (preferably new).
I need this one specifically for the JAA ATPL's
Cheers

It's way the most accurate one around. I've had mine for years but it's not for sale, sorry!
You can order one from here

Good luck!

I recommend using a CR type. It's just as accurate as CRPs. In some Mach No. questions it also requires fewer steps.
I used a CR5 (the smallest & therefore least accurate) for IR & Oz, USA & UK ATPLs. There was never a CR related accuracy problem in any of these.
This held true for others who also used CR types.
I might add that within my UK ATPL class, all CR types provided a consistantly tighter spread of answers than did the CRP-5. Our answers fell in about the middle of the CRP-5 spread.
A CR type also has the advantage of being more portable & therefore easier to have available for use when you fly.

Who remebers fronting up at the pilot supply shop as a student pilot and handing over bundles of cash for your new nav 'computer' expecting some fancy electronic piece equipment but instead getting a plastic wheel?

Thanks for all the responses ppl!!
I just passed my last Oz ATPL exam today and next week I get stuck into to JAA stuff.......... Am I a sucker for punishment or what?!?!?!
I think I'll stick with the CR2 - its done the job for me so far (and for others over in Euroland it seems). If its not workin out I can fork out for a CRP-5 later.
Thanks again
Oh and flyby_kiwi I remember that day back in '97 CLEARLY! I remember thinkin WTF is this??? I asked for a computer dammit!
