Our field elevation is 440 feet. When I landed yesterday, before I shut the engine off, the altimeter was showing about 550 feet. I double checked the ATIS and the barometer setting and It was correct.
I went back today, with the aircraft in the hangar, I noticed when I turn on the power, the altimeter reads 480', 470', 460', then settled at 450'. Maybe this "warm-up" is normal and I never see it because on engine, start the D180 always starts on the engine screen.
Has anyone seen altimeter issues with their unit?
Thanks.
