In airspace, feet and miles are used very often
Yeah, but those are nautical miles, not murican miles.
Yes, nautical miles still have some logic behind, as they are based on degrees of latitude.
Still it's funny to me that they are still called miles.
Pilots, maybe, they're "special" like that. Engineers do not.
Jk
I appreciate this practical answer even though I just learned that only pilots uses this particular American measure system Americans call mile.
