27/09...agree

and folks, DME is in knots

also, descent tables for ILS glideslopes can be approximated by using ground speed IN KNOTS time 5 for descent rate in FPM.

I remember the changeover...hated it then...happy about it now.

also, wasn't it "the high and the mighty" where the navigator makes a mistake in converting miles to knots and screws up things?
