The problem of determining the distance scale for planetary nebulae (PN) is approached through the kinematics of this subpopulation in the galaxy. To this end, we have compiled a catalogue of all known radial velocities for 457 galactic PN with standardized error statistics. External (calibration?) errors of the same magnitude as internal spectral line deviations are noted.
