FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
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 pressing 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 pressing
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

ADVISORY
Softkey).

TRAFFIC ANNUNCIATION
NOTE: Refer to the Hazard Avoidance Section and Appendix E for more details about the Traffic Information
Service (TIS) and optional Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS).
NOTE : If a second TA appears or if the number of TAs displayed decreases then increases, new aural and
visual alerts are generated.
The G1000 System displays traffic symbolically on the Inset Map (PFD), the Navigation Map Page (MFD), and
various other MFD page maps. When a traffic advisory (TA) is detected, the following automatically occurs:
• The PFD Inset Map is enabled, displaying traffic
• A flashing black-on-yellow ‘TRAFFIC’ annunciation (Figure 2-33) appears to the top left of the Attitude
Indicator for five seconds and remains displayed until no TAs are detected in the area
• A single
“TRAFFIC” aural alert is generated, unless an optional Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is installed
(refer to the applicable TAS documentation for alerts generated by TAS equipment).
