OPTIMA II™ is an advanced audible altimeter with extremely accurate altitude detection. OPTIMA II™ is so accurate that it has an added set of warning beeps that can be set for a specific altitude during normal and high-speed landing approaches. This feature helps both swoopers and conservative pilots find the “sweet spot” for starting their landing sequences.
