At a time when nearly every pilot struts around with a tablet computer or smartphone running their favorite navigation app, we were surprised to see that pilot supplier giant ASA (Aviation Supplies and Academics) redesigned its CX-series flight computer.

Still, more than one high-volume mail order house, including Sporty’s, told us the new ASA CX-3 computer is in strong demand. There’s a reason for that. You can’t take any FAA knowledge exam with any type of tablet or smartphone. But the dumbed-down ASA CX-3 is fair game, since it’s authorized for use on FAA (and Canadian) exams.
