ATCOJ30 what is all this crap about 'threshold elevation' anyway? I've not heard it on VHF or ATIS at any UK airport (OK I've not been to them all) ,but really, on EVERY approach?
From MATS Part 1....
7.3.5 If it is known that a particular company uses, or a pilot has clearly indicated that he will use, QNH during the final approach the controller may omit QFE and substitute QNH and aerodrome elevation or if appropriate, the threshold elevation in RTF messages.
Up here at the Ice Station the Threshold Elevation of the runway in use is included in the ATIS - when Pontius was a pilot and 90% of our customers used QFE we used to pass the appropriate figure to the 10% that landed using QNH - now the world has changed and nearly everbody uses QNH the figure goes on the ATIS to save constant repetition.
