## Discrepancy

(CAN) AIRCRAFT DEPARTED CYXD.  AFTER ROTATION THE CAPTAIN NOTED HIS ALTIMETER FLAGGED OFF.  HE THEN RETURNED TO CYXD.  UPON LANDING THE ALTIMETER BEGAN TO FUNCTION AGAIN.  SHIPS WIRING CHECKED, NO FAULTS FOUND.  ALTIMETER WAS REMOVED AND SENT TO A LOCAL AVIONICS SHOP.  IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ALTIMETER WAS INTERMITTENT, AND SOME PROBLEMS WERE FOUND WITH THE INTERNAL CIRCUIT BOARD.  A DIFFERENT ALTIMETER IS CURRENTLY ON ORDER.  (TC NR 20100113001)
