QNE is not an altimeter pressure setting. The QNE is the reading in feet on an altimeter with the sub-scale set to 1013.2 mb when the aircraft is at aerodrome or touchdown elevation. QNE is used during conditions of exceptionally low atmospheric pressure when it is not possible to set QFE or QNH on an altimeter.
