One Nautical Mile is 1852 meters exactly
One Knot is One Nautical Mile/Hour.
One statute mile is 1609 meters. Now the ratio between these two is 1609/1852 = 0.8688. So 1 mile per hour is 0.8688 knots.
You need to multiply MPH by 0.8688 to get the speed in Knots.

Hi,
My favorite place to look is www.onlineconversion.com there you can convert anything to anything almost. The equivilent for knots to miles is 1 knot = 1.150 779 448 mile/hour (mph). Hope that helps.

Actually, I use the manual E6B - not the handheld electronic version. Batteries can fail, GPS's can fail, electronicsd in general can (and do) fail. I like to keep in practice with the manual aids, so just in case something does go wrong, I will know how to handle it... I was recently co-pilot of a flight, clear Saturday afternoon, no clouds, perfect flying weather. Two hour flight. The PIC asks me to plan the flight, file the flight plan, and fly once at cruising altitude (No autopilot on this A/C). Plane was well equipped with full GPS, avionics, etc. Had to avoid Class B airspace (PIC preference). He was amazed that I did not use the GPS as my primary navigation tool. Used good old fashioned 'Dead Reckoning'. Yeah, a map, compass, and my eyes. Hmmm, isn't that what you do when all else fails?

Check out a conversion table. I believe a knot is 6088 feet/hr, while a mile is 5280 feet.
