Chill guys!!!
The Mil uk use QFE for circuit work and approaches cos it is easy - the altimeter reads zero, followed as by a little bump as you land. Outside of the MATZ / Military Radar Pattern we obey all the same conventions as the rest of the aviation community (QNH / SPS). Why do sums when you don't need to? What is difficult or wrong about the alt reading zero at touchdown? and If you are flying in / near a MATZ why not accept that you are being safely seperated from traffic that may be fast moving, rapidly changing height (forced landing patterns as just one example) flying many and various sized and speed circuits in many and various configurations - and already damned busy. Frequently we bash the pattern / circuit specifically to practicie emergency procedures (train hard - fight easy!!). We tried QNH and didn't find ANY benefit that outweighed the use of QFE. If in / near the MATZ -transit traffic (on QFE) will be told the Sector Safety Altitude if IMC, based on the QFE. As you reset QNH leaving the "service" - it's back to the deal you usually use vs SALT!
Think before using the big stick your carrying. Its a forum - just ask the Q (nicely)
