A B767-ER FLT MAKES AN APCH TO RWY 8R WITH THE ALTIMETER SET TO QFE AS COPIED OFF THE ATIS AT LFPG; FO.

Narrative

DURING APCH TO LAND AT CDG; THE RELIEF PLT GAVE US THE ALTIMETER SETTING AS WE LEFT 6000 FT ON APCH FOR RWY 8R. VISUAL DAY WITH LOWEST CLOUDS AT BASE 500 FT OR SO. I WAS FLYING. APCH WAS NORMAL; EXCEPT WE GOT INTO SOME LOW CLOUDS JUST ABOVE THE DECISION ALT. WE GOT THE RWY IN SIGHT AND LANDED NORMALLY. WE NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE ALTIMETERS READ ZERO. THE RELIEF PLT WAS WITHIN 2 YRS OF SVC HERE AND HE HAD COPIED THE QFE ALTIMETER SETTING THAT THE FRENCH STILL BROADCAST ON THEIR ATIS. HE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT QFE! I HAVE NEVER INCLUDED THIS INFO IN ANY OF MY ATL OR ARPT BRIEFS FOR EUROPE. I SHOULD HAVE PICKED THIS UP WHEN THE RELIEF PLT SAID HE HAD THE ALTIMETER SETTING FOR RWY 8R. I HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT QFE IN YRS; HOWEVER; THE CAPT WAS ON A REQUALIFICATION FROM ATL AND WAS THE PNF. HE SAID HE HAD ALSO NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE QFE SYS SINCE WE CONVERTED. THE GND SCHOOL SHOULD MENTION THIS LITTLE QUIRK AT LEAST FOR THE NEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE QFE SYS WAS. I WILL INCLUDE IT IN ALL OF MY BRIEFS IN THE FUTURE.
