I have a problem with my (Chinese) altimeter. I am out of the country for a few
months each year but when I got back this time I discovered that my altimeter
was reading around 5500 ft. This is the second time I have had this problem.
First time was a couple of years ago and I replaced the altimeter with another
unit. This has been Ok but now the second one is again reading 5500ft.
I guess I will have to shell out on yet another unit but would be interested to
know if anyone else has experienced any similar problems?
The only thing I can think of which might have a bearing is that I normally
connect
the pitot to the static line when I am away to stop spiders crawling up there
but I can't see how that can affect anything.
