Prefixes

SciTecDC opened this issue · comments

Some of the prefixes are not written according to the SI norm and the degree sign is missing entirely.

Knots: kt (has to be lowercase)
Meters: m (has to be lowercase)
Miles: mi (has to be lowercase)
Degrees Celsius: °C (needs a leading degree sign)
Degrees Fahrenheit: °F (needs a leading degree sign)

Norms and rules are usually to be observed in international aviation, and this should also be reflected in programs.
I hope it can be corrected when the opportunity arises.

Thanks in advance!
