About This Conversion

Feet to meters is the conversion you need when a US-sourced specification meets a metric standard: ceiling heights, cable runs, land plots, aviation altitudes. Because one foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 m, this direction is exact and never needs rounding for accuracy, only for tidiness.

Aviation is the odd case where the conversion is deliberately not applied. Flight levels remain in feet almost worldwide, so a cruise altitude of 35,000 ft stays 35,000 ft rather than becoming 10,668 m, even in fully metric airspace.
