5That's how nautical miles were originally defined, and that's why aviators use them. A nautical mile is about 1.15 statute miles, or about 1.85 kilometers. A knot is defined to be a nautical mile per hour.
Knot (kt): Standard unit of speed in aviation and marine transportation, equivalent to one nautical mile per hour. One knot equals 1.1515 mph, and one nautical mile equals 6,080 feet.
Recreational pilots may not fly more than 50 nautical miles (about 58 miles) from an airport at which they have received instruction, unless they receive appropriate cross-country training and a special instructor's endorsement.
Knot - One nautical mile is 15% greater than a statue mile (6,080'); a Light Sport Aircraft flying at 120 knots is traveling at 138 mph.
While every airport varies, terminal controllers usually handle traffic in a 30 to 50 nautical mile (56 to 93 km) radius from the airport.
We have two ways of expressing specific range: as Specific Air Range, which is air nautical miles per fuel unit (SAR) or as Specific Ground Range, which is ground nautical miles per fuel unit (SGR). SGR is SAR influenced by wind velocity.
A Knot is 1 nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is 1.15 statute miles, and a statute mile is what most people think of as a mile, for instance the odometer in your car reads in statute miles. So a knot is slightly faster than a mile per hour.
Warning Area- A warning area is airspace of defined dimensions extending from 3 nautical miles outward from the coast of the United States, that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft.

An airway is ten nautical miles wide, so the distance between the two centre lines is also ten miles. The solid lines are the boundaries between the airway (controlled airspace) and uncontrolled airspace. Bandit country.
for 2,000 nautical miles. Oddly enough, it also specified that it meet civil airworthiness standards, not just RAF spec.-possibly with the intention that production for civil use would lead to a lower per-unit cost.
At the extreme end of their range (300 nautical miles out), the group of Hellcats, TBF/TBMs, and dive bombers took many casualties. However, Avengers from USS Belleau Wood (CVL-24) torpedoed the light carrier Hiyô as their only major prize.

It should be noted that if you remain within 50 nautical miles of your home airport and you are engaged in flight training, you are not required to have an ELT. Also, if you have a single place airplane you are not required to install an ELT.
This gave a useful load of 1190 pounds and you could fill the bigger, 65 gallon, tanks and still carry 100 pounds of baggage. The airplane had become a very serious, 141 knot traveling machine as the range was extended out to 550 nautical miles.
DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) reading is some-times nautical miles, sometimes statute miles; there is no way for the pilot to discern the two. (Program the DME reading with one or the other, advise which, and be consistent.) ...
