US Altimeter Setting
Hi,
I understand that the US altimeter pressure setting is calibrated in inches of mercury. I am curious, however, whether the US have an equivalent to QFE that we have here in Europe. E.g. When I go and get the aerdrome ATIS, is the pressure setting going to give me height above the aerodrome, or is it a mean sea level pressure?
If it is height above aerdrome level, how do I then go about getting the enroute QNH (or equivalent)?
I am sure all of this stuff will be covered during my check out with instructors over there before I commence some solo hour building, however, I just wanted to be prepared.
Many thanks
