Altimeter discrepancy
Y'all,
I have been flying in an aircraft where ATC has occasionally mentioned that there is a 3-4 hundred discrepancy betwee our communicated altitudes and that of our blind encoder. We have acknowledged the difference. The altimeters were certified some 300 miles away only three months ago. ATC has accepted continuation of our flights using our indicated altitudes not those of the blind encoder. The transponder altituded gives encoder altitudes.. What do the FARs require? What are the options? What warranty on altimeter work and for how long? Opinions wanted. Gene Whitt
