BOAC:-
Thanks for the advice, would that everyone always followed SOP's!!
Having reviewed my company's SOP's regarding altimeter settings, I have found that our SOP's follow half the ICAO recommended procedures and in my experience most of my colleagues only follow half of the SOP's! I will not go into any further details, suffice it to say that the correct setting is always set on the subscale but not necessarily at the time preferred in the ICAO recommendations. I will, of course, send a memo to the big cheese but despite marking it "NOT for bin 13" do not anticipate any changes soon!!
