Plenty of meters visible in your cockpit possibly fewer metres though!

Now I fly with my own (removable) GPS, configured
to use metric units, so 1000ft / 10 km is a no-brainer to estimate.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^



Didn't know ft is a metric unit (femto teslas ? :-)


My GPS is configurable, the altimeter is not unless I prize the glass
off and repaint the dial. Hence the mixed unit salad ;-)

Oh, yeah, and the 'compass rose' page, which I use going xc doesn't
show altitude, so no meters anywhere in sight in my cockpit.....
