Volume: Basic unit: 1 mL, 1,000 mL = 1 Litre, 1,000 Litres = 1 kilolitre which is also 1 cubic metre which if it is fresh water at 15 degrees Celsius and 1013 Hectapascals = 1 metric tonne, EXACTLY. Inferial: 1 mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet = 63,360 inches WHY? Or in other units (yes there are more) 1 mile = 8 Furlongs = 80 Chains, 1 Chain = 1 Cricket Pitch, so 80 Cricket Pitches = 1 mile, or 880 Bald Eagle wingspans. WT Absolute F? Don't get me started on weights and volumes in Imperial. Imperial is just random numbers picked out of thin air whereas Metric is a well thought out System that is basically multiples of thousands or thousandths, there are divisions of tenths and hundredths or multiplications of tens, hundreds etc.... if you want, but imperial pffffft, in Australia I was 8 when metric came in but I can still convert quite easily as when I was learning to fly I was training on a Piper Cherokee, (also flew the Tomahawk and Dakota from Piper) which , being American, were all imperial but we were required to convert weights and volumes into metric as a legal requirement for weights and balances, what a pain in the arse that was. I changed flying schools and was pleasantly surprised that the aircraft were European, German Grob 115's and French built light aircraft, Trinidads, Tobagos, Tampicos and TBMs, ALL METRIC, no conversion necessary, although the experience gained on the American types was valuable. Metric is just way simpler.
