Congrats on joining the club!!

Another course sold by an instructor doing a good job of letting the student ENJOY the trial lesson.

Question for you UK people.....genuine question......

Anyway, we were cruising at 3,500 and once we were beginning to descend the instructor adjusted the altimeter manually to 2,400 feet.
response was.....

he was changing from QNH (the height above sea level, used for local area flights because that's how the chart spot heights etc. are marked) to QFE
is Newcastle at 1,100 feet??
