Narrative:
I was the first officer for a flight going from hou to sat. I was the PNF for the segment. I first noticed my altimeter was not working properly, so I informed the captain that I thought there was something wrong with my altimeter. We discussed the altimeter and what we could do, if anything, to correct the problem. We later discovered that my airspeed and ivsi gauges were also not working properly. When time permitted, we referred to our checklists and checked to see if there were any popped circuit breakers. Given a 30 min flight, we were joining the arrival into sat and landed without incident.
