SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
CONVERSION SCALE FOR WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
USED IN AVIATION
the scale engraved on the back of your watch allows you to convert five of
the weight and measurement units most commonly used in aviation.
combined with the slide rule, it is a handy way of preparing a flight plan.
Example:
multiply the number of uK gallons by 1.20 to determine the
equivalent value in uS gallons, or by 3.65 to obtain the mass or weight in
kg of such a volume.
Important note:
liquid to weight measurement conversions (lb., Kg) relate
to Jet fuel (kerosene).
x gal. uK uS gal. liter lb.* Kg*
gal. uK 1 1.20 4.54 8.05 3.65
uS gal. 1/1.20 1 3.78 6.70 3.04
liter 1/4.54 1/3.78 1 1.77 0.80
lb.* 1/8.05 1/6.70 1/1.77 1 1/2.20
Kg* 1/3.65 1/3.04 1/0.80 2.20 1
