I think the CAA should be tasked to sort this one out.

Hmmm ... let's see, what would they do ? Go for QNH or QFE ?

I know ...

"Reuters, London, 2006.

The CAA has today announced the results of it's 14 year study into the use of Q codes to stipulate vertical aircraft positioning. As a result of this intensive work, all airfields are to be relocated to coastal towns and sited on the beach. Once complete, the terms QNH and QFE will be replaced by the common reference WGAT (note 1).
In order to manage these changes, the CAA will recruit 1400 new staff. As only the RAF and GA use the term "QFE", they will bear all associated project costs. In order to apportion the charges fairly, all RAF officer clubs will close 5 minutes earlier, and £4.63 will be added to a litre of AVGAS."

(1) : WGAT = Who Gives A Toss
