ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS
SECTION 8 ANNUNCIATIONS &
ALERTS
8.1 INTRODUCTION
NOTE: The Pilot’s Operating Handbook Supple-
ment (POHS) takes precedence over any conflict-
ing 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 is colored based on alert levels described in
the Alert Level Definitions section. The Annuncia-
tion window is located to the right of the Altitude
and Vertical Speed windows on the display. All
Tiger AG-5B annunciations can be displayed in the
annunciations window simultaneously. A white
horizontal line separates the annunciations that are
acknowledged from the annunciations that are not
yet acknowledged. Higher priority annunciations
are displayed towards the top of the window. Lower
priority annunciations are displayed towards the
bottom of the window.
• Alerts Window: The Alerts window displays alert
text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alert messages
can be displayed in the Alerts window. Pressing the
ALERTS softkey displays the Alerts window. Press-
ing the ALERTS softkey a second time removes the
Alerts window from the display. When the alerts
window is displayed, the pilot can use the large
FMS knob to scroll through the alert message list.
• Softkey Annunciation: During certain alerts, the
ALERTS softkey may appear as a flashing annuncia-
tion to accompany an alert. The ALERTS softkey
assumes a new label consistent with the alert level
(WARNING, CAUTION, or ADVISORY). By press
-
ing the softkey annunciation, the pilot acknowledges
awareness of the alert. If alerts are still present, the
ALERTS label is displayed in reverse video (white
background 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 a window when a failure is detected in
the LRU providing the information to the window.
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 Level Definitions section for
more information.
