QFE = Barometric pressure setting to read zero elevation on the ground. Used by the Brits, South Africa, other Colonies, and American Airlines in the USA.

QNH = Barometric pressure setting to read field elevation above mean sea level. Used by everyone else, and American Airlines on the standby altimeter.
