Is CX2 allowed for ATPL exams?
Hello everyone,
I tried Googling the question but came with different answers. I'm planning on taking my ATPL exams in Romania and wanted to ask if CX2 is allowed in the exams? Google AI says no, all the other answers say yes.

The calculator may not be programmable.
Things like the CX2 are not allowed because it doesn't tell you how it got the answer. You are responsible for the aids in your aircraft and you need to know the underlying theory, hence the mechanical computer.
