I will never understand why you guys have this problem. Both in Germany and the USA you NEVER get QFE... the only time I even heard of it was in ground school. QNH is used everywhere! Only the glider fliers use QFE but only for traffic patterns...they set the altimeter to 0 while still on the ground... most don't even know it's called QFE!
And who needs the needle on 0 when landing....I see the elevation of the field in my chart, the traffic pattern is noted in altitude MSL, as is every obstacle and landscape, so I need QNH... and when I land, I look OUT and not at my altimeter anyway!
Maybe the UK uses QFE because your country is so flat!
