UL730 - that, of course, is what QNE is for.

If your altimeter won't set 945, you set 1013 and request QNE from ATC. Say they report 'QNE 1314ft'. Then you pretend the aerodrome is at 1314ft, adding the heights on the IAP to this to give altitudes to check on finals.

Personally I like Q codes. There are several lists on the web and I'm sure there'll be a thread around somewhere. One you still hear very regularly is QSY, of course.
