ASAs new electronic flight computer takes advantage of
advances in display and microcomputer technologies for better performance and
price. A menu of 34 functions gives users access to 40 aviation calculations,
including weight and balance, and includes these features:
May be used for FAA Exams. The CX-2 complies with Advisory
Circular (AC) 60-11, Test Aids and Materials that May be Used by Airman
Knowledge Testing Applicants. Users may bring the CX-2 with them to the testing
centers for all pilot, mechanic, dispatcher, and FAA exams.
Numerous Aviation Functions. Aviators can calculate true airspeed, ground
speed, mach number, altitudes, fuel, headings and courses, time/speed/distance,
winds, headwind/crosswind components, gliding information, and weight and
balance. Users can change variables and recompute without re-entering the whole
problem.
User Friendly. The large, easy-to-read LCD screen displays prompts for fast
and easy operation. Inputs and outputs are labeled and numbers are displayed
with units. The menu organization reflects how a flight is normally planned and
executed. This results in a natural flow from one function to the next with a
minimum of keystrokes.
Ergonomic Design. The CX-2 features a simple keyboard and slim design. The
hard-plastic carrying case protects the computer inside the flight bag, and fits
on the back of the unit for storage while the computer is in use.
Unit Conversions. The CX-2 has 16 unit conversions, including reciprocal
conversions for nautical and statute miles, nautical miles and kilometers, feet
and meters, pounds and kilograms, gallons and liters, time in an
hours:minutes:seconds format and time in decimal format, Fahrenheit and Celsius
temperatures, and millibars and inches of mercury.
Timers and Clocks. The CX-2 has two timers: a stopwatch that counts up, and
a count down timer. The internal clock displays both local and UTC time and will
keep time with the calculator turned off.
Interactive Functions. Functions can be used together in chain
calculations, where the answer to a preceding problem is automatically entered
into subsequent problems. Standard mathematical calculations and conversions can
be performed within each aviation function. The CX-2 uses four AAA batteries
(included), and features a 5-year warranty.
