The altimeters were certified some 300 miles away only three months ago.

Last May I had my altimeter and encoder certified as part of the two-year
requirement. During a flight soon after, I was told by ATC that our
transponder-sent altitude was off about 400 feet when compared to the
altimeter.

After pointing this out to the shop who certified the aircraft, they
discovered that their altimeter that they use to certify aircraft had a 400
foot error in it. Nice...
