Converstions

Can anyone tell me the following:

For weather:

 

Wind conversion:

 

M/S(meters per second) to knots?

 

350@15m/s ? I know what 350@ 15kts is? Is it similar?:chair:

:D

1 m/s = 1.9438612860586 kt

 

two sites with different answers, if you are picky about decimals?

 

Curious about what formulas were used.

Thanks.

 

Now,

Does the CDU readout in wind go by M/S or knots?

I also uploaded a copy to this sites User Files and it should be there once it gets cleared.

cc Eagle.

Just with Mission Editor you got to do alot of conversions which is a pain.

Should have option for both in a option selection in ME

That would not help with wind speed since, AFAIK, knots is not actually an imperial or metric measurement.
