Are you allowed to use a electronic (non programmable)calculator in a UK PPL exam e.g. Flight Planning exam?
Answers:
Yes, but it's got to be non scientific. The CAA actually lent me a calculator when i sat my exams
.refer to legal guidance for handicapped acceptions.
I believe so . however, you should check before going to the exam. Hey . good luck!
Sure you can. A lot of the calculations would take forever.
If you have to bring in the instruction manual that could be difficult.
how many questions are on your Exam in the UK?
YES, however use the E6B that is what it is for.
You do know what a E6B is dont you??and you do know how to use it dont you?
All you need is your E6B.
All you need is your E6B flight computer for your calculations, your instructor should have taught you how to use it.
Fuel burn? - no problem.
Gallons to pounds? - no problem.
Crosswind component at takeoff? no problem.
Track error? no problem.
Forcast winds incorrect? no problem.
Glideslope / distance calculations no problem.
Altimeter Vs baro pressure caculations, no problem.
Knots to statute miles? no problem
It will do everything you need and it doesn't have batteries that will let you down when you need it most.
My watch will even calculate most of the above, but you need a magnifying glass to read the numbers.
E6B is useful for flight calculation, but mass center calculations are easier with a normal calc.
