MATZ QFE Altimeter Setting - Query
Hi,
Some advice please from the guys in the know. . . .
I'm currently studying for my PPL and am taking my Nav exam tomorrow.
If on a x-country route you over-fly a MATZ at, say 4000ft, should the altimeter be automatically reset to the MATZ QFE, or should it be left on the relevant RPS?
Does the MATZ vertical altitude limit only come into play when proposing a MATZ penetration, ie given a vertical limit of 3000ft?
The above assumes that the MATZ vertical limit determines BOTH altimeter setting AND the need to establish radio contact - this may be a wrong assumption to make! - but clarification would be helpful.
Many thanks,
HW
