Hi All,

  

 This test method was given to me from Dean Hall in testing he had done on  his RV-4.

  

 Rational for the test method.  The altimeter is only  connected to the static port.

  

 On the sectional, locate a given height for a mountain peak, or whatever,  near your airport.

 Set your altimeter station pressure to the reported station  pressure.

 Verify that the altimeter reading and the actual field elevation are  correct.

 Go up and fly past the mountain peak, or whatever, at cruise speed and  report your altimeter reading.

  

 Dean Hall had installed a Piper style pitot/static tube on his RV-4,  and the first flight past the mountain peak he found that his altimeter was off  by 800 feet.

  

 Regards,

 Jim Ayers
