APPENDIX A
ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS
NOTE:
The Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) supersedes information found in this document.
The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items:
•
Annunciation Window:
The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. Text color is based
on alert levels described in a following section. The Annunciation Window is located to the right of the Altimeter
and Vertical Speed Indicator. All aircraft annunciations can be displayed simultaneously in the Annunciation
Window. A white horizontal line separates annunciations that are acknowledged from annunciations that are
not yet acknowledged. Higher priority annunciations are displayed towards the top of the window.
•
Alerts Window:
The Alerts Window displays text messages for up to 64 prioritized alert messages. Pressing the
ALERTS
Softkey displays the Alerts Window. Pressing the
ALERTS
Softkey a second time removes the Alerts
Window from the display. When the Alerts Window is displayed, the pilot can use the
FMS
Knob to scroll
through the alert message list.
•
Softkey Annunciation:
During certain alerts, the
ALERTS
Softkey may appear as a flashing annunciation to
accompany an alert. The
ALERTS
Softkey assumes a new label consistent with the alert level (WARNING,
CAUTION, or ADVISORY). By pressing the softkey annunciation, the pilot acknowledges awareness of the
alert. The softkey then returns to the previous
ALERTS
label. If alerts are still present, the
ALERTS
label is
displayed in white with black text. The pilot can press the
ALERTS
Softkey a second time to view alert text
messages.
•
System Annunciations:
Typically, a large red ‘X’ appears in windows whose information is supplied by a failed
LRU. See the G1000 System Annunciations section for more information.
•
Audio Alerting System:
The G1000 System issues audio alert tones when specific system conditions are met.
See the Alert Levels Definitions section for more information.
