> Inches of mercury, magnetic bearings (the magnetic poles move! but they put up with that) and gallons of fuel, all just accepted.
Here in Europe we use hectopascals for pressure, as does pretty much everywhere else. It’s important to have a magnetic bearing in case your glass dies and you’re reliant on a paper map and compass, if you didn’t plan with magnetic bearings you’d be screwed if this happened in an area of high magnetic variation.
