I do different things depending on the phase of the flight...

* Below the transition altitude and outside the circuit, both are on QNH.

* Above the transition altitude, the "primary" altimeter (usually the one to the right of the AI) is on 1013, the "secondary" on QNH.

* In the circuit, the primary is on QFE, the secondry on QNH.

As for "standard" practice - no-one ever told me anything!

Cheers,

MD
