ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS
8.2 ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS
The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in the Tiger
AG-5B, uses four alert levels:
• WARNING: This level of alert requires immediate
pilot attention. A warning alert is accompanied
by an annunciation in the Annunciation window
along with a continuous aural tone. Warning alert
text is RED. A warning alert is also accompanied
by a flashing WARNING softkey annunciation,
as shown in Figure 9-2. Pressing the WARNING
softkey acknowledges the presence of the warning
alert and stops the aural tone. Pressing the ALERTS
softkey displays the related alert message in the
Alerts window.
• CAUTION: This level of alert indicates the exis-
tence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that may
require pilot intervention. A caution alert is accom-
panied by an annunciation in the Annunciation
window along with a single aural tone. Caution alert
text is YELLOW. A caution alert is also accompanied
by a flashing CAUTION softkey annunciation, as
shown in Figure 9-3. Pressing the CAUTION soft-
key acknowledges the presence of the caution alert.
Pressing the ALERTS softkey displays the related
alert message in the Alerts window.
• ANNUNCIATION ADVISORY: This level of
alert provides general information to the pilot.
An annunciation advisory alert is accompanied
by an annunciation in the Annunciation window.
Annunciation advisory alert text is WHITE. An
annunciation advisory alert is also accompanied
by a flashing ADVISORY softkey annunciation,
as shown in Figure 9-4. Pressing the ADVISORY
softkey acknowledges the presence of the message
advisory alert and displays the alert message in the
Alerts window.
• MESSAGE ADVISORY: Message advisory alerts are
different from annunciation advisory alerts in that
they do not appear in the Annunciation window.
A message advisory alert is only accompanied by
a flashing ADVISORY softkey annunciation, as
shown in Figure 9.2.3. The majority of G1000 alerts
are message advisories and are listed in the G1000
System Message Advisories section.
