A flight computer was a device similar to a slide rule, and used a circular slide.[1] Originally used in aviation on Earth in the 20th century,[2] a variation of the flight computer was still in use in 2266. Bobby used one on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 and an unnamed crewman used one during first contact with the First Federation on Stardate 1512.2.[1][3] Spock used a flight computer to help calculate the breakup of Psi 2000 when the ship's engineering section was compromised on Stardate 1704.2.[4]
