Abstract
An apparatus to continuously monitor a preset altitude for a pilot of an aircraft. It senses a change in altitude and an audible as well as a visible alarm tells the pilot that he has deviated from his preset altitude by a given height. Increase in altitude is signaled by a high pitch tone and by a yellow light while a decrease in altitude is signaled by a low pitch tone and a red light. The invention can also be used to warn a small boat operator of a pressure drop.
