'Tis now the season

Recent experience as follows:

Several Russian Airports, in Moscow give the corrected QFE setting, as perhaps there is no need to correct a setting that has been read directly from the reference mesuring device.

Next time I will compare the advised QNH, and QFE. Expect optortunity tomorrow....

So does the problem only manifest itself in NON controlled airports, that are working on QNH settings.

Recently been to a Russian airport at 3am, local temp was -30C, (deep inversion layer, at 1000 ft QFE only -10), Not surprising the QFE displayed zero on touchdown.

Bumz,
sorry for not actually helping to clear the fog...
