Purchased a 20K sensitive altimeter in 2008, new from falcon. Have not flown yet but am getting close. The altimeter reads about 19K ft high! It has never been flown. Baro is about 700 ft off as well if I ignored the 10K ft needle. Called falcon and its basically an exchange program with discounted pricing from buying a new one. Is mine a rarity or do these china altimeters just quit working after a few years?
I will probably acquire one from a donor plane that is not going to be flying soon but I wanted a nice new altimeter...and I already bought one, don't think Ill buy two.
Anyone opened on up? At this point i cant do any harm to it for educational purposes.
