OK, to be precise, 100'+/- is OK, and encoders click over at 51', right? So you'd have to be 151' off for it to show as outside tolerance. Fly over some building cumulus in a 172 sometime- that can left your skirts 100' before you know it. Better have that altitude nailed or you've violated your clearance. Hell, I remember vertical deviations of a lot more than that, with the VSI being dam near pegged on the climb/descend scale in some sizeable twins, during some turbulence. I was on an Embrarer 55 out of Houston and heard the warning horn going off in the cockpit during turbulence that I think got us zero gravity at a couple of points.
