- Unit conversions should be those given by the source if possible to avoid rounding errors, or use the Template:Convert
- If necessary, speed in Mach should be converted with Template:Convert/Mach with a consistent altitude (e.g. ceiling)
- Rows can be added for other characteristics, like "Propeller type" or "Takeoff/Landing distance" in the appropriate section
- Rows can be hidden by putting them in comments if a characteristic isn't available
