Easy Street,
Not sure how you come to the conclusion that the instructional community are the most ardent defenders of QFE. I've been instructing for 14 years and no-one has ever asked me for my opinion. That said, if they did, I'd find it difficult not to argue that having 0 on the alt when you are on the ground was a good thing - I'm not sure I'd be ardent about it, though. However, when you spend most of your LL time over the sea, the QFE/QNH debate is kind of meaningless.
