Up in Aberdeen the nice controllers usually give us little GA planes both if we've been out and about for a bimble on the way back in - nice and handy since egpd is at 213ft and the circuit is higher on one side due to a big hill, but not the end of the world. On a bimble I have a habit of setting the 2nd Alt to the QFE before take off anyway (but I do check on the way back that the QNH hasn't changed), but you hardly ever get into the circuit at Aberdeen anyway, just end up orbiting before a downwind or base join

The handy thing about Florida at least is that the airport elevations are pretty much at sea level anyway
