When are we finally going to consign this QFE nonsense to the dustbin of obscure aviation history where it belongs.
It serves no usefull purpose, causes confusion and incorrct altimeter settings are a major cause of accidents.
Move transition altitude to a sensible consistent standard of 19000 feet and we would have a simple and safer system of QNH for everthing below 19000 where we have plenty of time to twiddle knobs and 1013 above.
Just as well you don't fly in Russia then, or China and quite a few other countries around the world that still use QFE, its called adapting to the situation
