Hope someone can answer this for me
« on: August 13, 2010, 03:13:16 PM »
Last night I was using Flightaware to track a flight on which a friend was arriving at KAUS.

On the right side of the screen it shows DISTANCE  'direct'  195 sm  and 'planned'  210 sm

Question: what do the letters 'sm' mean?

Thanks
