Carl, Nevertheless, I want m/s as a "option" relating to closing distances and time intervals before a collision. On a related question, we are told that international rules for air traffic control are being revised. Would you recommend m/s or km/h for rates of ascent and descent of aircraft, or would you argue that ft/s should be retained because most pilots (except pilots from eastern Europe) are already more comfortable with ft/s?
