ATC and Pressure

Hello!

Seems to be a problem. ATC controller always gives QFE pressure in InHg, not mmHg. Settings of metric system don't affect this.

Did a bit of thinking about this.

Aircraft operating on airspace whose ATC uses inHg would need a conversion table, as atc instructions would all be in inHg, and would be responsibility of an aircraft's crew to do the conversions.

 

I would guess NATO countries with legacy soviet equipment probably already use those.

 

I made a table, but apparently there is some other bug that affects the accuracy of the pressure settings (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=130908&page=2)
