ICAOQNH

The ICAOQNH command selects the calculation formula and
rounding method used for QNH and QFE calculations.

For calculation formulas, see Appendix A, Calculation Formulas, on
page 133.

ICAOQNH [?] [ON/OFF]

where:

?

= Displays the current ICAOQNH status.

ON = ICAO QNH calculation formula, QNH and QFE values

rounded down to nearest integer. Only units [hPa] and [mmHg]
are available for QNH and QFE.

OFF = Default QNH calculation formula, no rounding other than

specified with FORM command on page 70. All pressure units
for QNH and QFE are available.

NOTE

Although ICAOQNH is ON, you can use the FORM command (on
page 70) to f
orce the display of decimal places on QNH and QFE
values. Because of ICAOQNH rounding, these decimal places are
always filled with zeros.
