ENTER key lives on, w/o RPN...(flight computer)

The large ENTER key caught my eye, but it appears to be an ALG input system.

If that gives any trouble:

I have one of those, and you're right - it's not RPN. On the other hand, it does have some solver-style capabilities for speed/time/distance and similar calculations. I haven't used it for years, though - it's a battery hog and GPS does all the calculations faster with less data entry, while a circular slide-rule "whizz wheel" is most reliable.

Best,
