Investigators say a faulty altimeter played a role in a Turkish Airlines crash that killed 9 people in the Netherlands. The plane was landing on automatic pilot and the problem with the altimeter led to a loss of airspeed before the crash. The Boeing 737 carrying 135 passengers and crew went down in a muddy field less than a mile short of the runway at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport shortly before it was due to land on Feb. 25.
It's my opinion that there's been one too many plane crashes, lately and something should be done to bring these airlines into aeronautic codes standards.
