QFE...Field Elevation
I said:

That would make the elevation of every airfield in the world zero feet wouldn't it?
You said:

No, only those at the same altitude as the field where you set it, assuming the barometer reads the same.
Too subtle obviously...

I was making the point that setting QFE does NOT read the field elevation, it reads zero!
