I am (perhaps unreasonably) annoyed by the mixed units. The narrator and captions are using knots for speed, which is standard for aviation in most of the world. The on-screen display is using km/h, which is standard for everything else in most of the world.

And ft/s for vertical speed. Really got a bit of everything going on there!

That is standard for vertical speed everywhere

That's funny for someone with aero-glide2 as user name. I'm used to metric variometers in gliders.

And yet, excepting two countries (IIRC), altitude is normally in feet for ATC. Which means instruments are in feet.

Not in the countries you refer to, and not in gliders in many European countries. Not 'everywhere' then.

So if both wings break off, I need to do unit conversion to calculate my remaining lifespan? Jesus Christ, what a horror show.

Interestingly, glider pilots use metric units in metric countries. So altitudes are in m, airspeed in km/h, and vertical speed in m/s.
