What is 0.5 nautical miles in kilometers?

• A. 0.926 kilometers
• B. 0.5 kilometers
• C. 0.463 kilometers
• D. 1.852 kilometers

Answer: (A)

Converting nautical miles to kilometers uses a fixed factor: 1 nautical mile equals 1.852 kilometers. So half a nautical mile is half of that distance, 0.5 × 1.852 km = 0.926 km. Therefore, 0.5 nautical miles is about 0.926 kilometers (roughly 0.93 km when rounded to two decimals). This distance isn’t 0.5 km or 0.463 km (the latter would be a quarter nautical mile), and it isn’t 1.852 km (that’s a full nautical mile). In flight planning you’ll use this exact conversion to switch between units accurately.
