Rolf, if memory serves me right, the FARs are clear about it: setting
to MSL is required.

I don't recall any regulation requiring the altimeter to be set to QNH
unless the particular operation requires it (eg. an instrument
approach).


14 CFR 91.121 (aka FAR 91.121)

For extra credit, note 91.121(a)(1)(i) which says you must use the setting
from the local radio source in preference to setting to the field elevation.
As was pointed out in this group a couple years ago, the examiner in the back
seat knows that regulation.
