Good day to all!

From the link of golfyankeesierra above:

Boeing was dus op de goede weg bij het constateren van problemen met de hoogtemeter. Zo stelt luchtvaart-deskundige Benno Baksteen. Zoals het hoort, had de fabrikant de vliegmaatschappijen verzocht om problemen door te geven. Maar een oplossing was nog niet gevonden.

Vocht is volgens Boeing de mogelijke oorzaak van de slecht functionerende meter. Luchtvaartmaatschappijen zouden de antennes moeten inspecteren op roestvorming.

"Thus, Boeing acted correctly by acknowledging the problems with the (- radar -) altimeter. So it is surmised by Aviation expert Benno Baksteen. The manufacturer had appropriately invited the Airlines to report problems. Even though, a solution was not yet found.

According to Boeing, the possible cause of the incorrectly functioning instrument is humidity. Airlines should have inspected the antennae for any rust formation. "

Good continuation,
