Dom,

Quite simply put, mph or MPH means statute miles per hour
and knots means nautical miles per hour. Period.

If one of the writers does not understand the difference, you should 
listen to the rest of their comments with a grain of salt.

</color></bold></fontfamily>The reason I question the terminology is
because there are many posts

which refer to MPH.

.

.My aircraft stalls at 64 knots in the approach configuration, and that

means a minimum approach speed of 84 knots, which is 96 MPH.

Given the vast majority of pilots own aircraft which have ASI's

calibrated in knots, I simply hold to the view that if anyone uses MPH

terminology, then they must mean MPH, unless they mean knots, because I

am aware that MPH is a very common American expression, and someone may

well mean knots - but maybe not.

No - I am not being obtuse, but adding a little levity to an important

question.
