Nail on the head, tangovictor.
quote :QFE will still be needed & taught, otherwise MATZ or zone transit would become a mystery to a low hours pilot :unquote.
MATZ/Zone Transit is of course RAF territory and separation with local traffic is still achieved with altitude clearances on QFE.
Seems the RAF is the only agency to insist on use of QFE in UK.
btw, wrt high altitude airfields, is the use of QNE still current ? eg Nairobi etc( Reason being normal altimeter scales cannot be adjusted to cover.)
