It's weird to see that such a serious school as MIT don't use metric system to calculate moments. Everyone on the world (except of the US) who graduated 7 or 8 classes of school knows that the unit of moment is Nm
Its about communicating in a common language. In terms of flying a plane, that language is not engineering or science but piloting and what the FAA expects you to know. Using a different languauge would not let you communicate effectively with other pilots in the US.
@@3rdworldgarage450 exactly!... its about communicating in a common language. So why doesnt the US use a sensible system of units (maybe the one everyone else uses since theres nothing wrong with it)?
The weight & balance, performance, type certificate data were derived when the plane was certified and most units were US Customary System units. The POH (Pilot Operating Handbook) for the 172 is mostly in USC. So when you go to the chart to see if the plane is within the CG envelope, it's in inches aft of datum.
Ms.Tina lectures are great starts from very basic concept.
Is she from India 🇮🇳😳

@@nikolasbaumann4070 Because the common language isn't what you think it is when you're talking about aviation.
