On takeoff from Paris-Le Bourget Airport, the pilot lost several flight deck screens and his two altimeters indicated different altitude information. He radioed a distress message, and air traffic controllers guided him for a visual approach to runway 27 at Le Bourget.
During the guidance, it was observed that the altitude displayed on the air traffic control radar display system was significantly higher than the aircraft's actual altitude. The pilot landed visually on runway 27 at Le Bourget.
