A
Correct answer
Explanation
QNE is the term for the standard altimeter setting of 1013.25 hectopascals (hPa), also known as 29.92 inches of mercury (inHg). This is the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) sea level pressure setting used for flight levels (above transition altitude). QNH is the local altimeter setting for height above mean sea level at a specific location, while QFE is setting for height above airport elevation. QNE specifically refers to 1013.25 hPa.
