Hi
My p3s shows often a wrong altitude . Usually display 10 15 mt less than real
Is any calibration I can perform ?

No.... you need to allow for the error unfortunately, it is a common and well known issue.
It seems most apparent at the end of a flight from a cold start. In my experience i had a greater error when running with a cold imu calibration (placing the phantom in the fridge immediately before calibrating). It seemed that recalibrating closer to average flying temps went a long way to resolving the issue.
If i am flying where altitude is likley to be critical i do it after flying a full battery first and find less error.

The altimeter is part of the IMU.
Try recalibrating the IMU on a perfectly level surface.
That might fix your problem.
