February 29, 201214 yr Author Where do you get your charts then??I use the jeppesen charts and all of them (european) aerodromes have the runway lenght in meters AND feetSweden, Spain and Norways AIP, and they don't have feet in runway length, I don't belive a ICAO country is allowed to have runway lengt in ft according to ICAO chart standard, the only reference in Europe that is imperial is elevation exept approach profile charts where elevations is expressed in meters.I know where in the CDU the length is, and I know how to convert. But the function does exist according to the FCOM (10.42.11) and the HGS manual that somone found here in the forum a while ago. Daniel Groth
