A and C - Wanst the topic on why the british military still use it rather than airlines? Maybe we prefer QFE because in my military aircraft (and I know others do before I get flamed!) unlike an airliner, I do not have ILS, an autopilot or the ability to unstrap and walk around if I get tired! Not saying that Airline Jet pilots dont work hard, but by the time landings come along in our 'always manual land aircraft', either visually in good weather or via a PAR in bad weather, you are knacked, and want things nice and simple. The simplest thing is for the ground to be at zero ft when you land, hence we use QFE. I am sure that the obliging military air traffic would provide you with the QNH if you turned up in your NG 737, but we like it simple
