In a hold @ 9,000, A/P on (so level...), twice in a turn at the same position, ATC indicated 300' alt alert. Any ideas as to why this would happen? Some kind of static port issue?

Thanks.

FL or Alt?

Transition Alt?

QNH?

Altimeter Sub Scale Setting?

Need more info!

Maybe you already had a 200 feet mis-readout, and your A/P couldn't hold the altitude in the turn, changing the number a bit, then showing 300 to ATC?

Like above, we don't have much to go on...
