When to use it
Translate architectural drawings, sports field dimensions, or aviation-altitude conventions between US customary and metric units.

Uses the international foot, not the US survey foot (0.3048006096 m) employed in some cadastral data ā differences matter only at large scales. Rounding display precision may hide tiny residuals on back-conversion.
