APPENDIX A
ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS
NOTE: The Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM/POH) supersedes
information found in this document.
The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts using the following:
• Annunciation Window: The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. Text color is
based on the alert level. The Annunciation Window is located to the right of the Altitude and Vertical Speed
boxes on the display.
• 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 FMS Knob can be used 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 (ADVISORY). By selecting the softkey when
flashing an annunciation, the alert is acknowledged. The softkey label then returns to ALERTS. If alerts are
still present, the ALERTS label is displayed in white with black text. Selecting the ALERTS Softkey a second
time views the alert text messages.
• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red ‘X’ appears over instruments whose information is supplied by
a failed Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). See the G1000 System Annunciations Section for more information.
