Wanted: 80 mm Winter Mechanical Vario in Knots
Is the difference not something that your mechanic can sign off with a
change in the equipment list?

Scott,
Normally not a big deal but the flight manual for a Grob Twin clearly asks for a vario in knots.

The previous vario I was looking at was ft/ min not knots. Anyone have an 80 mm (3 1/8") Winter Vario in Knots available ?

So, I understand a knot is equal to 101.2 feet per minute, is the requirement due to regulations or a non compromising desire for 'the right scale?
I completely understand either, Just wondering.
Scott.
