  Is that the standard in the airline industry? For example, does Embraer use SAE too? Lockheed (I thought the US military used metric)?

    Dunno. My info's from https://www.reddit.com/r/aviationmaintenance/comments/botlch/is_airbus_metric/ https://www.reddit.com/r/aviationmaintenance/comments/botlch... Update - google says Embraer uses SAE. Apparently Airbus helicopters are metric though.
