Don't tell me the QFE is still in use! Combined with Human Factors, QFE is a killer. I have personally observed, at an aerodrome 600ft amsl, with a circuit height of 800ft aal (QFE), an aircraft make a standard circuit rejoin at 800ft QNH. Result? Fatal mid-air with a departing aircraft just airborne, one dead pilot, and two others injured.
