Default Overlooking the Obvious

Planespotta:

If your pitot-static system isn't indicating correctly, and you are deliberately putting in the wrong barometric setting to get a field elevation that looks right, don't fly. Get it investigated and fixed.

Not sure what the requirement is under Part 91, but for airline and Air Force flying, it has to agree within about 75 ft of field elevation.
