The altimeter readings were all correct on the flight. The transponder
reported accurately and center never had a problem with my altitude.
So it seems to me, the static system must be correct.


A loose connection in the ram air system could give erroneous airspeed
readings while giving correct altimeter readings, as could a partial
obstruction. I've seen water in the pitot system give this error also,
which is really a partial obstruction.
