QFE/QFF Pressure
The reduced air pressure QFE (pressure at a certain level) or QFF
(pressure at sea level) are calculated as follows:
1
T
L
A
ePQF 
where
T
1
= 7996 + 0.0086 * L + 29.33 * T
A
L = Reduction level in meters
T
A
=
Air temperature [C]
P
A
= Atmospheric pressure [hPa]
QF = Reduced pressure (QFE or QFF) [hPa]
