Perhap we are at crossed purposes but an ARFOR does not refer to an
airfield -that's a METAR and not all fields issue them. So in this
case how can QNH give field elevation unless it's an ISA day?


Again: QNH gives *by definition* the field elevation.


Only at the airport ref point, so, no, it doesn't.

He'll get it in the end... high to low look out below! I'll guess he's
not flown Xcountry to non ATIS fields?
