Acronyms are a pilot's best friend. What is QNH?
Answer Sea-level pressure
Standing for "Query: Nautical Height," the QNH is sea-level pressure, used to register the altitude above sea level on an altimeter. Dial QNH at ground level at the airport, and you'll see the airport's altitude above sea level.
