<<but in Commercial Aviation they use QFE for instrument approaches. (I may be out of date on this).>>

Unless things have changed since I retired 7 years ago, just about all airlines use QNH. The last ones to use QFE thar I recall were Aer Lingus and one or two east European companies, but they had changed by the time I left. Someone more up-to-date will no doubt comment.
