FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

ANNUNCIATION WINDOW

NOTE: New alerts, regardless of priority, are displayed at the top of the Annunciation Window, separated by

a white line from acknowledged alerts. Once acknowledged, they are sequenced based on priority.

The Annunciation Window appears to the right of the Vertical Speed Indicator and displays abbreviated

annunciation text for aircraft alerts. Text color is based on alert level: warnings appear in red, cautions in yellow,

advisory alerts in white.

SOFTKEY ANNUNCIATIONS

The ALERTS Softkey label changes to display the appropriate annunciation when an alert is issued. The

annunciation ﬂashes and the appropriate aural alert sounds until acknowledged by selecting the softkey. The

softkey then reverts to the ALERTS label, and when selected again opens the Alerts Window to display a

descriptive message of the alert.

Warnings are time-critical and require immediate pilot attention. A ﬂashing WARNING Softkey annunciation

and aural tone (single chime every two seconds) are used to alert the pilot of any warnings. The aural tone

and ﬂashing WARNING annunciator continue until acknowledged by the pilot (by selecting the

WARNING

Softkey).

Caution indicates the existence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that may require pilot intervention. A

ﬂashing

CAUTION Softkey annunciation and single aural tone (one chime) are used to alert the pilot of any

cautions. The ﬂashing CAUTION annunciator continues to ﬂash until acknowledged by the pilot (by selecting

the

CAUTION

Softkey).

An advisory provides general information to the pilot that may not need immediate attention. A ﬂashing

ADVISORY Softkey annunciation (no aural tone) is used to alert the pilot of any message advisories. The

ﬂashing ADVISORY annunciator continues to ﬂash until acknowledged by the pilot (by selecting the

ADVISORY

Softkey).
