Interesting thread. At my base aerodrome I usually make an OHJ at 2,000 ft QFE which is only 800 ft above the 1,200ft circuit, but that's not in itself a problem. What I have noticed recently is a number of aircraft tracking the located VOR and transitting via the overhead at 2,000 ft which if QFE puts them in direct conflict with me, and if QNH puts them 100 ft below me. Apart from the obvious (ie eyes and ears open) .... any suggestions?
