Common length conversion mistakes

  • A nautical mile is 1,852 m, defined from one minute of arc along a meridian, while the statute mile is about 1,609 m. Sea and air distances always use nautical miles, so 100 NM is 185.2 km, roughly 15% longer than 100 statute miles. Check which mile a chart or spec is using before you convert.
  • Rounding the inch to 2.5 cm feels harmless, but the exact value is 2.54 cm, a 1.6% error. Over a 100-inch measurement that is already 4 cm off, and the error compounds in chained calculations. Use the exact definition: 1 inch = 2.54 cm, exactly.
