Units of measure

Aviowiki mostly uses the for data served via the API.

The main deviation from this is the use of Celsius Degrees in place of Kelvin, for temperatures. This minor variation reflects the more operational use of our data, as compared to the scientific focus of the ISU.

As a general overview, these are the units of measurement used for different use cases:
