Folks,
My reaction is: There is so little difference in price, and given that a
non TSO altimeter only meets unknown standards, why bother.
Think in terms of the cost of the altimeter as a percentage of the total
cost of the aircraft, then thing of all the ways you can get into trouble
with a miss-reading altimeter.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton.

I'm not sure where you're buying your altimeter, but from Aircraft
Spruce the difference between a TSO ($409) and non TSO ($189) sensitive
altimeter is substantial to my budget.

I think what he meant is that 189$ represents about
half a percent of the value of the aircraft while 409$
represent about 1% (let's say.... as it depends on the
cost of the project)... So half of a percent of the
aircraft value (even 5% for that matter) is not that
significant.

I do tax and accounting for an FAA certificated instrument shop.
"NonTSO" has no more meaning for an altimeter than if they said
"contains no additives nor preservatives." If a mfr does not produce
a TSO'd version, it could be oriental junk. If they do (and who
does?), to produce a TSO and a nonTSO'd version of an altimeter costs
the same, if it's of the same design. If you're paying substantially
less, how can you be sure of what you're getting?
