ASA’s CX-2 Pathfinder 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, with these features:
- May be used for FAA and Canadian 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 H:M:S and decimal formats, 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.
Please see the CX-2 Demo, and try it out for yourself. This online version is fully functional so you can see exactly how the CX-2 works.
✈ What People Are Saying
Product review for CX-2
In a letter to John Wing of Wing Aero Products, Joseph Troke writes,
John,
Thank you for the opportunity to evaluate the two flight computers. Enclosed is the Jeppesen Techstar. After using both to aid in my cross-country flights during the last month, I found the ASA CX-2 to be the more desirable product. The reasons are as follows:
- CX-2 display was easier to see and read, especially during flight.
- CX-2 has a durable protective cover that stays in place while tumbling around the cockpit.
- CX-2 menu order flows with flight planning better than the Techstar.
- CX-2 previous menus can be accessed with a back key.
- CX-2 calculations are done automatically and quickly. The Techstar required an additional button press to do calculations and was slow.
- CX-2 carried over calculations to the next step.
- CX-2 calculated estimated cloud base from temp and dew point.
- CX-2 had additional calculations that the Techstar did not provide.
- Techstar allows simultaneous flight calculations and calculator use.
- Techstar allows one-touch data entry while the CX-2 requires scrolling the cursor.
Although both products aided in quick flight planning and navigation, the CX-2 seems to be the easier and more effective pilot tool.
