Brian,

It is a Wultrad I believe. It has been perfectly fine for five years but
since the aircraft has been laid up for a while, it seems to be over
reading.  My house is approx 50ft. above sea level but the altimeter is
reading 200 at todays pressure from local airfields. 

Richard..

Hi Richard,

Most altimeters have a way of adjusting the link between the pressure
setting and the altitude indication.  This does not normally require any
dismantling of the altimeter.  What Make/type of altimeter do you have?

Regards

Brian Davies

My altimeter seems to be reading about 150ft. too high.  I wondered if
anyone who has upgraded to a glass panel may have their old steam driven
one for sale?  Please contact me off forum if so.
