List Admin. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:43:57 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: altimeter encoder problem From: "Remi Guerner" Hi David, I propose to share with you my personal experience on that subject : My aircraft was originally fitted with a Garmin GTX320 and a Terra AT3000 encoder. After a few years flying, I started to experience altitude reporting problems. ATC was occasionally seeing me at 6000 ft or below ground level while I was flying at 2000 ft AMSL. I was once wrongly accused of having busted the class A London TMA while I was flying well below the max allowed altitude. Then I reworked the wiring without success, then I had the encoder tested by an avionic shop and it was found to be ok. Then I borowed another GTX 320 from a frend for a few flights and the system was working ok. So the culprit was clearly the transponder which was intermittently reporting an altitude different from the one transmitted by the encoder. I have since installed a mode S GTX328, keeping the Terra encoder and it has been working fine for the last five years. Conclusion : in most of the cases the culprit is the altitude encoder but it could also be the transponder itself. I hope that helps.
