QNH 1013: Thanks for that. That was what I was trying to say but didn't put it very well.
Ref QFE: Funnily enough, I use both depending upon what I'm doing:
If I'm instructing VFR in the circuit or local area I will set QFE in the circuit or when approaching it, and QNH outside (like most people, I imagine).
If I'm IFR I fly by reference to QNH or 1013, even when approaching. I suppose it is because approach charts (or the ones I use do) highlight ALTITUDES better than HEIGHTS and therefore provide you know the threshold elevation you have no problem. Even on a visual approach from an IFR flight I will use QNH since that is how I have briefed myself.
I suppose it all comes down to the way you were taught. I notice that practically NO airlines use QFE now, but that it is always offered to puddle jumpers.
