Units
I think it would be useful to decide what the primary units should be, and stick to it. US units with nautical miles seem to predominate, but we've got many places where SI units are given first. And many places where "miles" are specified, but it doesn't say what kind of miles. In at least one section, "Preparing a new attempt", we use both nautical and statute miles.
