I'm getting mixed reviews from the instructors at my school.

Can I use a CX-2 calculator on the transport test for PPL ?

Yes, you just need to remove the batteries in front of the TC employee to show it's not storing any information.

Awsome thank you !

Just remember that it can't do true altitude calculations.

Heaven forbid you showed up with a smartphone which I'm pretty sure everyone uses. I'm all for old stuff (I know how to use a slide rule), but perhaps it's time to get with the times instead of making everyone use this archaic stuff.

I was actually told I could take the CX2 into an exam once, but I had to leave the plastic cover outside. I think, in case it held a secret squirrel microdot containing the entire CARs and associated standards, or something.

Last month when I wrote my APTL exams in Calgary they took my E6B apart to make sure I wasn't hiding anything inside.

I have invigilated some of my faculty's final exams, you'd be surprised what people come up with.

I believe you can find a list of approved aviation "computers" here - https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/ ... s-2011.htm

I've heard of an AEI who says you cannot bring in a dollar store calculator if it has the "M" memory function button.. Might be familiar to anyone who's gone to write a CPL or INRAT in Kelowna..
