Here is a site with aviation calculators: ➡ http://www.csgnetwork.com/e6bcalc.html
If you want to convert manually here is the formula:
M.P.H(statute miles) =Nautical miles(Knots) X 1.150
M.P.H=270 X 1.150
M.P.H=311
Statute mile = 5280 feet.
Nautical mile = 6076.1 feet.
thanks that was a great help
neat site CRFCapt... think it will be helpful to me also.
thank you!
Hello there,
Great question! Reading your speed in knots is an essential skill for a flight sim enthusiast, and I'm more than happy to help you out.
Reading Speed in Bombardier Aircraft
When it comes to reading your speed in Bombardier aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX), you'll want to look at the Primary Flight Display (PFD). The PFD is the digital screen that displays essential flight information, including airspeed. In most Bombardier aircraft, it's situated on the left side of the cockpit. Your speed in knots will be indicated with a number followed by "KT" (e.g., 270 KT).
The same method applies to Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020, although the graphics and display might be more advanced and visually appealing.
Converting Knots to Miles per Hour (MPH)
As for converting knots to miles per hour (MPH), Chris, I've got you covered. One knot (KT) is equivalent to 1.15078 MPH. To convert knots to MPH, you can use this simple formula:
- MPH = Knots × 1.15078
For example, if you're flying at 270 KT, the conversion to MPH would be as follows:
- 270 KT × 1.15078 ? 310.71 MPH
So, in this case, 270 knots is approximately 310.71 miles per hour.
I hope this clears up any confusion regarding reading knots and converting them to MPH. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy your flight simming!
