Understood about the flight levels, but how does one set QFE on an
altimeter on a high altitude airport? Most altimeters I've seen
don't have a sufficient range in the Kollsman window to set anything
above 3,000 ft. or so.


If you can't, then you can't, simple as that. If you run out of
kollsman range (be it QFE or QNH on some extreme weather), then ask
for the QNE, that's what it is for.


No, it isn't
