All models of aviation-oriented calculators may be used, including small electronic calculators that perform only arithmetic functions (add, subtract, multiply, and divide). Simple programmable memories (which allow addition to, subtraction from, or retrieval of one number from the memory) are also permissible. Simple functions, such as square root and percent keys, are permissible. Applicants may use scales, straightedges, protractors, plotters, navigation computers, blank flight plan sheets, holding pattern entry aids, and electronic or mechanical calculators that are directly related to the test.
Applicants for knowledge tests may not take any written materials (either handwritten, printed, or electronic) other than the supplement book provided by the proctor into the testing area. The use of magnetic cards, magnetic tapes, modules, computer chips, or any other device upon which prewritten programs or information related to the test can be stored and retrieved is also prohibited. Applicants are not allowed to bring personal writing utensils into the testing room. Any required writing utensils will be provided by the proctor and collected at the conclusion of the test.
It is considered a breach in testing policy if you possess any documents or electronic devices (including cell phones), other than the permitted materials, or access a non-testing website while inside the testing room. Any breach in testing policies may result in your immediate dismissal.
