G'day folks,
I'm a little confused about what to do when flying through a MATZ. Trevor Thom Air Law(1998 edition) says :
"When penetrating a Military Air Traffic Zone (MATZ), the pilot will normally be given the Aerodrome QNH to enable vertical seperation between a/c. If there is more than one aerodrome in a combined....blah blah blah... clutch QNH".
However, the PPL Confuser states quite clearly that QFE must be set. It says this twice. The Confuser is confusing me!
Which do I believe or are there different rules for different situations and I'm missing the point?
Any advice from those wiser than me (so that's pretty much everyone, I guess) is much appreciated.
Thanks,
ATCS
