I’m a bit puzzled. (Nothing new there) But on 15 Feb, you said in your post 3216
The handling pilot’s baro altimeter had a setting which an RAF witness at one of the inquiries dismissed as being the QFI for Aldergrove.
I thought - QFI, QFE, schmooFE, just a typo.

Then on 17 Feb, your post 3227 had a long list of things in support of the Chinook's heading for a landing strip, amongst which was
the had the right QFI for it
Now, call me pedantic if you like, but it couldn’t be, could it, that you don’t know the difference between a QFI and a QFE? (Answer, a QFI is tall, handsome and a steely-eyed wannabe killer - just ask one and they’ll tell you - whereas a QFE is just a collection of, well, millibars)
