While I try not to tell people whch way to do something, because it is their own preference, I simply do not understand a couple of the points made about QFE in the last few posts.

How does QFE stop you having a CFIT?

What is the mental arithmetic required during landing if using a QNH even if into higher elevation fields? I spent some time flying light aircraft around Portugal which I only mention because they have field elevations at and around 2000' in places which is more than you get in the UK, and I never remember doing any mental calcs.
