"MATS 1 better than ICAO" - you jest! Why is the Editor just starting a major re-write?
On the specific subject, I think that "hectopascals" sounds pretty naff, but if ICAO now uses that term, WIH do we, in the UK, yet again, have to be different?
And - more to the point - why can't the US and various other States come into line and all use hPa for pressure and feet for vertical measurement? You would think that world-wide standardisation of such criteria ought to be pretty basic?
