What does QNE represent?
-
A
The barometric pressure measured at a specific reference point, typically at the runway threshold of an airport.
-
B
The magnetic bearing to a station.
-
C
The barometric pressure adjusted to sea level, using the international standard atmosphere (ISA).
-
D
The altitude measured above the standard reference pressure level of 1013.25 hPa.
Refer to figure.
QNE (Nautical Elevation) is the altimeter reading at the runway threshold with 1013.25 on the subscale, used when the subscale does not go low enough to set QFE. It is a height, not a setting or a flight level.
In addition, QNE is the "standard" setting of 1013.2 hPa (or 29.92") for Flight Levels above transition altitude. Flight Levels are surfaces of constant atmospheric pressure related to a datum of 1013.2 hPa.
