Robert,

it should read the same pressure as the altimeter in the Kollsmann
window when the altimeter is set to zero feet, right?


......altimeter set to ***airfield elevation***, correct??
The old QFE vs QNH settings thing...

G,

That will make the Kollsmann show the QNH. And, as has been mentioned
in this thread, that is not ambient pressure at the field's elevation.
Thus, it is NOT what MP will show.
