![Aviation Technology Inc.’s Alt Alert cabin pressure monitor uses a flashing, red light combined with either advisory chirps or sustained alarms, depending on the seriousness of the situation, to alert pilots and crewmembers to a loss of cabin pressure. The device can be secured to a visor with a clip, but it can also use a suction cup to attach to a window, or Velcro for mounting on an instrument panel.
