CRP-5 Vs CRP-1

What can a CRP-5 do that a CRP-1 can't? (Just interested before I buy one!)

From memory I seem to recall that the CRP-5 has compressibility on it. It is the computer you need for the ATPL syllabus, and it is bigger.

In addition it can do up to 1000kts TAS and convert to and from TAS and Mach.

Having finished the ATPLs, you need the CRP 5 for alot of it!! The exams are written based on it, don't scrimp on this one as each exam is worth £55 and the investment in the CRP5 will save you any heartache. You can get one on Ebay these days, and even get some money for your CRP1 in return on the same website. To fail because you have the wrong flight computer is not something you don't want to do!!
