Narrative:
Location: near fever. On descent due to a heavy workload, the altimeters were not changed from standard to qnh which resulted in a leveloff approximately 300 ft above assigned altitude. Approach control made no mention of it and it was quickly recognized by both pilots and corrected. There were no conflicts with other traffic.
