Handheld electronic flight computers haven't changed much over the past 20 years. The same calculations still apply: true airspeed, ground speed, headwind/crosswind components, weight and balance.
So when ASA redesigned the venerable CX-1A Flight Computer, the focus was on ease-of-use, durability and enhanced display technology.
With the new CX2, they've succeeded on all three counts and added one new bonus feature to boot.
- It's now easier to navigate through the onboard functions, with prompts to guide users through each problem. A new menu structure provides easy revision of data entered in a function without reentering the whole problem.
- With a hard-shell case that clips to the back of the unit while in use, the CX2 is more durable plus it has a 5-year warranty to back it up.
- With a big LCD screen, calculations are easier to read and enter.
As a bonus, the CX2 is now a full-function timer, with stopwatch, count down timer and in internal clock to track local and UTC time, even while the calculator turned off.
Detailed Specifications:
- Authorized for use on FAA Exams.
- 34 functions provides access to 40 aviation calculations, including weight
and balance.
- 16 unit conversion functions.
- Prompts guide users through each problem for fast and easy operation.
- Calculator and conversion functions can be used alone or within any aviation
function.
- Large, easy-to-read screen.
- Menu structure provides easy entry, review, and editing within each function
-- user can change variables and recompute
without reentering the whole problem.
- Inputs and outputs are labeled and numbers are displayed with units.
- Includes a stopwatch, count down timer, and an internal clock that displays
both local and UTC time that will keep time even with the calculator turned off.
- Functions can be used together in chain calculations -- the answer to a
preceding problem is automatically entered into subsequent problems.
- Menu organization reflects how a flight is planned and executed, resulting
in a natural flow from one function to the next with a minimum of keystrokes.
- Ergonomic design features a simple keyboard for minimum keystrokes; slim
design allows computer to fit into a shirt pocket.
- Hard plastic carrying case protects computer, and fits on the back of the
unit for easy storage when the computer is in use.
- Uses four AAA batteries (included).
- 5-year warranty.
