ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS
NOTE: The Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) supersedes information found in this document.
The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using the following items:
•Annunciation Window: The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. Text color is
based on alert levels described in the Alert Levels Definition 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. Selecting
the ALERTS Softkey displays the Alerts Window. Selecting 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
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 consistent with the alert level (WARNING,
CAUTION, or ADVISORY). By selecting the softkey when flashing an annunciation, the alert is acknowledged.
The softkey label then returns to previous ALERTS. If alerts are still present, the ALERTS label is displayed in
white with black text. The pilot can select the ALERTS Softkey a second time views the alert text messages.
• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red ‘X’ appears in windows 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 Levels Definitions section for more information.
