hey im listening to Hong KOng Approach and they call altitudes in METRES ??what the...??you listen urself n tell me...http://airtrafficcontrol.no-ip.org:8080/atcI.htm

well,they're chinese now,aren't they.i think they've copied that from Russia,or vice versa,way back when.not every country loves feet and inches.some settle for metres and cm's instead.just as lefthand driving,or righthand driving.i tend to take the middle though,less bumps :-hahtataJP.

And meters are of course far easier and more standardised than feet.WHOSE feet should we use for example, and should we take the left or right foot?
