No Logical Justification

There is no logical justification for not issuing temperature corrected pressure settings (i.e. QFF instead of QNH). The difference in vertical clearance from terrain can be over a 1000ft.

If several aircraft have to be separated by altitude in the terminal area it would be unsafe if some of them used (different) altitude corrections for temperature.
