I was flying JPs at Linton during the great QFE/QNH debate and was very pleased to have QFE whilst doing circuitathons and PFLs at Topcliffe, Dishforth, Leeming, Fenton, Finningley etc. However, I have since learned to "embrace" QNH and find that it provides much greater awareness of terrain. But what makes me titter is that we get a lot of chamfing from the FJ community about the vital nature of QFE but I have never heard it raised as a point at RED FLAG or COPE THUNDER etc. Just a thought.....
