Based on the airport’s country or if it’s easier, the METAR.

The weights and distances make sense as something not auto-selected, since many people will invariably use imperial airframes in metric countries and vice versa, due to personal preference and familiarity, but for the most part I think it makes sense to match the altimeter unit in use at a given airport (while letting the user override it as desired).

This would happen automatically when entering the airport identifier resp. choosing “populate from last flight”, I think?

Edit: I wanted to post this in Wishlist :man_facepalming:

Thanks, will look into it. I don’t think our upstream METAR parser (NOAA) indicates the source unit in the extracted METAR data, so this might be a bit complicated. Will see if it can be done within a reasonable amount of effort.

Cheers,
