When we set airfield elevation on the ground the pressure displayed was much lower than reported on the forecast. We set the forecast qnh and that gave an altimeter error of about 600 feet high. We reset to airfield elevation and took off. At altitude we set the area qnh reported on Jandakot ATIS which was 20 mb higher than our altimeter was indicating. We've checked the static lines - no blockages or leaks that we can find. Any thoughts?

Heath" Subject: Re: RV-List: Altimeter error Shirley, Anything in an airplane that has preformed well for a long time and then suddenly has a change should be looked at by someone with experience in that field. That being said, and if you are sure that altimeter is otherwise functioning correctly, with reasonable care try this. Adjust the altimeter to airfield elevation. Near the adjustment knob there is a flat head screw. Carefully turn it out until the head just clears the face of the instrument but still is engaged in the threads. The screw is engaged in a small rod that locks the knob in position. Try not to let it come out or lose it. Slide the screw away from the adjustment knob to unlock it. With care, pull out on the knob. In this position the knob will only adjust the Kollsman's window. Set the QNH in the Kollsman's window. When manipulating the knob in and out, use a very slight and gentle twisting force to accommodate its movement. Move the knob to the in position, slide the screw/lock back to where the screw can be turned in to its original position. If its within 50 ft you got it, if not, do it again. Careful, John D. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley Harding" Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 2:56 AM Subject: RV-List: Altimeter error > > > Today the altimeter in our RV6 developed a strange fault.
