I know I should use Knots, but I still use Miles on my D10A because I like that occasionally I break 200. If i'm indicating in Knots and that happens, there's something wrong...
Of course, I leave my GPS reading in km/h, because the passenger can see it easier than the D10A in front of me... And flying along at 300+ is way more impressive... :) |

I'm tri-lingual. More than comfy with the metric system for most of my life but also speak in imperial measurements on occasion if required, and of course "nautical" language too. The only thing I've never quite got my head around is degrees F. Oh.......and the drill gauge numbering system. My head makes much more sense of an actual dimension (inches or mm doesn't really matter) than a kinda random number assigned to it! :D |

The faster RVs would be 8,400 furlongs/fortnight :) |

Quickie on-line conversion tool says 170 kts = 525859 furlongs/fortnight! Impress your friends: "This plane goes over half a million furlongs per fortnight! And it only weighs about 35 slugs!" |

I didn't even think of looking for an on-line calculator that spoke furlongs/fortnight...:) |
