Nope. If you dial up the local barometric pressure the altimeter may
not read airfield elevation....

GO away no fly boy.

I see you don't know. In fact an altimeter is calibrated to the
standard atmosphere so if the temp. is not standard it will not read
field elevation when local QNH is applied.

Pretty basic knowlege for a PPL, Oh I forgot, I'm not supposed to be a
pilot.
