dude china has the codes for our avionics and altimeters.

Can you explain what you mean by "code for our altimeters"?

There're no electronics in an altimeter.

digital altimeter on all the newer helicopters and digital avionics made in china.

Here's the cockpit.

The circle towards the top right that says ALT is the altimeter.

all made in china and hackable by intelligence agencies.

No, actually it's completely UN-hackable, because it's a completely mechanical device.

They have been used for decades because theyre about as simple as you can fucking get. The only things that fuck up with them is when some retard forgets to uncover the pitot tube where the air comes in from, or if the pitot blocks up.

there is a reason why student pilots still have to read old mechanical instruments even if theyve got access to planes with glass cockpits.

what happens when the glass cockpit fails. youre fucked.

Perhaps, yet it's been used for many many decades and, best of all - can't be hacked.
