Prefixes #13

Some of the prefixes are not written according to the SI norm and the degree sign is missing entirely.

Knots: kt (has to be lowercase) Meters: m (has to be lowercase) Miles: mi (has to be lowercase) Degrees Celsius: °C (needs a leading degree sign) Degrees Fahrenheit: °F (needs a leading degree sign)

Norms and rules are usually to be observed in international aviation, and this should also be reflected in programs. I hope it can be corrected when the opportunity arises.

Thanks in advance!
