Consistency of measurements edit
I've reverted the change of display of altitudes from ft/m to m/ft. Whilst MOS says that there should be consistency in the use of one form over the other, I believe that an occasional exception can be made here.
Being a French subject, the article naturally uses metric first, converted to imperial. I have no problem with that, but (and it's a big but) in most international aviation worldwide , altitudes are expressed in feet. This is the case for aircraft flying in France, so it is natural that theses measurements are expressed in imperial units, and converted to metric. Mjroots (talk) 05:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
