>Given (I assume) all our ASI's are calibrated in KNOTS, why do people
insist on using MPH when describing anything related to aircraft speed?
As a retired Engineer, I believe the entire planet should be using one
system of units, the MKS system. But such is not the case and it will not
happen for a long time. What we have is a hodge-podge mixture of English,
cgs, and MKS units. You are not going to change the situation in the near
future so let's learn to live with it.
When I purchased my ASI from Lancair, I expected the scale to be in Knots
but it was in MPH. I have been using MPH ever since. I can use either .
Mathematics is no that difficult. Stop complaining and convert.
