Flight Computer Error? Does anyone know why?
Asked by: Plane Crazy 4883 views General Aviation
I just got a CX-2 electronic flight computer.
I know that from 29.93 to 29.92 is 10 feet.
But I was playing around on my CX-2. I entered 29.93 - 29.92 and got 0.01. THEN, I multiplied that by 1000 and got 10.00023. Odd. I'm wondering why it didn't just display "10."
Consequently, when I just enter 0.01 x 1000 it DOES give me 10.
I didn't know if the 10.00023 was an error or if anyone had any idea why it might display that? And yes, I tried it multiple times.
