  2. feet (ft) expressing altitudes, heights and elevations,
  3. knots (kt) expressing horizontal speed,
  4. feet per minute expressing vertical speed.
The air traffic controller will use metric units of measurement (SI) published in chapter AIP Poland GEN 2.1 only after prior request of aircraft crew submitted by radio at the time of the first radio contact with the unit executing Approach Control within the WARSZAWA TMA.
