QNH, QFE and QNE - [Altitude, Height and Flight Levels explained]

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Any question regarding QNH, QFE or QNE? Leave a comment below and I will help you out!

[@vantranthi398]

I knew that in some book they called QNE being pressure alttitude of an aircraft when it is on runway, so QNE is not a pressure value. 1013hPa ia standard pressure. Is it right?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

@@vantranthi398 This is true on a standard Atmosphere condition however, in real life the QNH varies thus, with a QNH of 1000hpa, at your airport, for example, the QNE is not your elevation anymore. Yes, many times we refer to QNE as the pressure reference however, if you look at its very correct definition is the difference expressed in feed between the 1013.25hpa and the aircraft.

[@vantranthi398]

@@PILOTCLIMB thank you very much for your reply. I have more questions 1) As you told “ QNE is the distance btw 1013hPa and aircraft”. We all know “distance btw aircraft and 1013hPa is Pressure altitude”. So why in some books people need to use QNE as pressure altitude? 2) 1013hPa is standard pressure, why in some book people need to use QNE as standard pressure. Should we confuse pilots by those 2 things? 3) In our area we follow ICAO and WMO terms. Would you tell me in which doc/book I may have QNE definition? Thank you in advance

Both TA and TL height are indicated on Sid/stars and IAP/let down plates. In U.S, it FL180 strait line, Germany or EU is 5500TA, rest elsewhere could be 11,000ft TA(QNH) for Dep or FL130(STD), Arr."set QNH". Simple! I'm fan of PilotClimb too

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Many thanks for watching and the kind comment!

[@martin81bayern]

Thanks for the explanation. But in theory it would still be possible to do all the vertical seperation and flight level stuff based on QNH instead of QNE and considering that there is a bottom layer of terrain which cannot be used for aircraft separation. QNE seems to be a helper for the "terrain problem" only. Nothing more and nothing less.

[@ClanLawrence]

Sorry, but your explanation and definition of QNE is incorrect. This seems to be a common misconception all over the internet, from some sources that should know better. What you are describing as QNE is the Standard Pressure Setting (SPS or STD). QNE is a different thing altogether. QNE is not a Subscale Setting, it is an altitude reading, more specifically it is the indicated altitude of an aircraft on the ground, at the runway threshold, with 1013 set on the subscale. It is used very rarely, in conditions of exceptionally low pressure where the QNH or QFE is so low it is past the range of the Altimeter Subscale and so is impossible to set.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

If you’re some where at 3,000 ft on final approach, and the QNH is 10.20 Hp, and field elevation is 433 ft, how then do you calculate how many feet to land? From the altimeter should you aim to torch down at 433 ft being the field elevation? I have tried aiming to land at 433 ft from the altimeter, but it doesn’t work. I would finally torch down at 344. Pls how do I calculate it right?

Make sure that the QNH is correct, also check the Threshold elevation that sometimes is different than the airport elevation.

When you say that the mean sea levels changes depending on the water, and when the Mountain takes as reference the QNH, should have also not change the Information regarding the height of the mountain on the charts all the time ? I this case there must be a safety separation to the height published on the charts of the terrain, which enusures Terrain separation even when the QNH changes are big ?

Excuise me sir, i want to ask this definition to you which about Flight Level. Below the FL180 is FL or not? I know that above the tranaition altitude called as FL. But what is this meaning? Class A - Positive Control ATC exercises complete control in the Positive Controlled airspace. Jets are the primary user of Class A airspace. It ranges from 18,000 feet (Flight Level 180) to 60,000 feet (FL600). Altitudes 18,000 feet and above are called Flight Levels (FL). Class A airspace is not specifically charted on aeronautical charts. Operation is in accordance to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The aircraft must be equipped with appropriate IFR instrumentation, including a Mode C altitude reporting

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Good morning, I hope you are well!! In some places the Transition Altitude is fixed at 18000feet, thus above that is always FL. However, in Europe for example, the Transition Altitude changes from place to place depending on the Orography. Below the Transition Altitude during Climb you use Altitude and, above it you use the Flight Level. Let me know if I answered your question.. I also made few videos about this topic..

Hi, I would like to ask you something if you don´t mind, just an observation, when I was studying, long time ago, QNH was the pressure at the MSL, but calculated from the pressure at the airport and then reducing as per standard 1" ----1000ft in this way calculated the QNH. Is this still the way I supposed or not?. Thanks in advance

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Hey, many thanks for watching, and welcome on board!! Yes, as far as I'm aware, the QNH is still calculated starting from the pressure and the elevation of the airfield. Once you know the Airfield Pressure (QFE) and Elevation you can find what is the local QNH by applying the standard pressure variation of 30feet per Hpa.

Sir, you explained qnh as a "pressure at mean sea level and why we use it? because all terrain or obstacles around the airport such as top of mountains are declareted qnh height". I know this is true defining according to literature but i wonder that qnh is changing everyday but our charts and top of obstacles and terrain altitudes do not ! Temperature, air density, airmass pressure not same. On the other hand if this defining is true every top of terrain altitudes on the maps or charts will change everyday with variable qnh value... ( I know it is negliable little error but if you measure the same top of mountain heigh with a static gps which is referenced grs80 ellipsoid and qnh referenced altimeter same time, gps height will not change but altimeter height will chance a little bit because of every qnh referance changing...) I guess this error will solve in future by dint of satellite navigation technologies such as gps. Best regards

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Hey, many thanks for watching and for the thiughtful comment! You are right, depending on the Temperature and Density the space between the isobars can vary. Usually, that's not a problem, however when you have temperature that are 0 or negative it might become a problem, in fact we apply the Temperature corrections to the Altitudes that we are flying. This will make sure we stay separated to the obstacles. Have a great day!
