When flying German fighter: QFE in mBar please!


Recommended Posts

Posted

When I fly a Messerschmitt or Focke-Wolf and contact the airbase for landing approach they provide me with QFE in inches of mercury (inHg). The Kollmann window in my altitude indicator however shows barometric pressure in mBar. So now the WWII pilot has to take out his 1944-vintage electronic calculator (or open the app on his smartphone) to convert the inHg to mBar?

Please provide QFE in mBar!

Same issue with the Mirage 2000C, which also uses mBar.

 

Please also add hectoPascal (hPa), which is used by the AJS-37 Viggen.

ähm... 1 mbar = 1 hPa

 

 

I hope this will be adressed once the new ATC system is developed. Until then I'm afraid the WWII pilot needs his smartphone for conversion.
