Re: Glider units
Not if you're using CAA aeronautical charts, but other maps are available.
All the altimeters I've seen in the UK have been calibrated in feet, and all discussions of height/altitude have always been in feet.
If I were flying to another airstrip (which is unlikely as my PPL has long since expired ;-) I would request QFE (local air pressure in millibars) and set my altimeter to read height above ground at that location.
