ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS
The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Cessna Corvalis/Corvalis TT aircraft, uses three alert levels.
• WARNING: This level of alert requires immediate pilot attention. A warning alert is annunciated in the
Annunciation Window and is accompanied by a continuous aural chime. Text appearing in the Annunciation
Window is RED. A warning alert is also accompanied by a flashing WARNING Softkey annunciation, as
shown in Figure A-2. Selecting the WARNING Softkey acknowledges the presence of the warning alert and
stops the aural chime.
• CAUTION: This level of alert indicates the existence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that may require
pilot intervention. A caution alert is annunciated in the Annunciation Window and is accompanied by
a single aural chime. Text appearing in the Annunciation Window is YELLOW. A caution alert is also
accompanied by a flashing CAUTION Softkey annunciation, as shown in Figure A-2. Selecting the CAUTION
Softkey acknowledges the presence of the caution alert.
• MESSAGE ADVISORY: This level of alert provides general information to the pilot. A message advisory
alert does not issue annunciations in the Annunciation Window. Instead, message advisory alerts only
issue a flashing ADVISORY Softkey annunciation, as shown in Figure A-2. Pressing the ADVISORY Softkey
acknowledges the presence of the message advisory alert and displays the alert text message in the Alerts
Window, and the softkey label changes to ALERTS.
