Knots are knots, never knots per hour.
The autopilot is always used, not hand flying it.
RLE
A nautical mile is longer than a land mile. 2025 yards vs 1760 yards so
a knot is not equal to a kilometer per hour. A kilometer is only about
1100 yards.
Assume they are talking about kilometers per hour and it amounts to a
margin of just under 6 miles per hour.
