Kingy's pet hate no.63
I fly an aircraft with only one altimeter that, when I'm flying solo,
can't be reset in flight (it's in the front, I'm in the back!). with no radio I set it to my known strip elevation to give 'my' QNH.
Just add the field elevation on to your curcuit height at your destination (it's on the map for crisesakes!) and bobs your uncle.
I must admit it can get a little 'fun' adding or subtracting the 30fts on the rare occasions when I have to use the radio to alight at a larger field though....
But generally excessive altimeter twiddling is needless for uncontrolled VFR flight in the UK. In fact, I feel there is a safety issue with everyone flying on the same regional.
You can have your thread back now gents!
