Final 3 Geens:
I said:
"QFE is only of any value for pilots who are doing nothing else but flying locally".
You said:
I disagree.
QFE is good for less experienced or low currency PPLs "In the Circuit".
Now then, you have lost me completely. I had always imagined that being "in the circuit" was "flying locally". So why are you disagreeing? Perhaps you have less control over your students than I do over mine.
The advantage of teaching QNH from the outset means that you don't have to worry when they set off to the Continent (where they might not know what QFE is) and I would further humbly suggest that anyone who is incapable of adding 300 to 1000 and arriving at 1300 should not ever be considered for solo flight.
