Thanks for the above information gents, much appreciated. Your answers were what i thought, but just wasnt sure upon. I do have another quickie if you can...

1) Am i correct in saying the only way a pilot will know how high he is above a certain airport, is by calculating it. Ie: By applying the height of the airfield above/below sea level to the current QNH altitude/FL? Or another way of saying it, since QFE is not set anywhere, on no instrument will the height above an airfield be displayed...?

Thanks again.
