Introduction to QFE and QNH QFE Altitude

F1CE

Unlike modern planes, the Mirage F1 does not have terrain elevation data
IFF Introduction available. It is not equipped with a radar altimeter either, which means that air-to- QNH Altitude
ground weapon release is based on attack profile tables, which require pitch angle, (Nautical Height)
airspeed and altitude data (based on barometric pressure readings derived from
IFF Modes the pitot tube). Releasing a bomb from an incorrect altitude means that the bomb Target
PONS & ARMAMENT

could fall short or long; this is why it’s important to have an altimeter reading with
IFF Transponder Components an accurate “altimeter barometric setting”.
Mean Sea Level (MSL)
Setting Up the IFF Transponder An Altimeter setting is the value of the atmospheric pressure used to adjust the
scale of a pressure altimeter so that it indicates the height of an aircraft above a
Part 15 - Radio Tutorial known reference surface. This reference can be the mean sea level pressure, or the
barometric pressure at the nearby surface airport or the pressure level of 1,013.25
hectopascals (29.92 inches of Hg, Mercury) which gives the standard flight levels.
Radio Overview
QNH is the “sea-level pressure”. It’s used to cause the altimeter to register height Slaved Altitude (Alticodeur/Altimètre)
TRAP 136 V/UHF (Green) Radio above sea level. When sitting on the ground at an airport, dialing QNH into the Indicator (x1000 ft)
altimeter will cause it to display the airport’s altitude above sea level. • The slaved altimeter repeats the altitude
