SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.6 ARRIVAL ALERTS
The Arrival Alert Box on the System Setup Page allows
the Alerts Window arrival alert to be turned ON/OFF. The
alert trigger distance (up to 99.9 units) may also be set
for alerts in the Alerts Window and the PFD Navigation
Status Box. An arrival alert can be set to notify the pilot
with a message upon reaching a user-specified distance
from the final destination (the direct-to waypoint or the
last waypoint in a flight plan). When an Arrival Alert is
set to ON, and the set distance is reached, an “Arrival at
waypoint” message is displayed in the PFD Navigation
Status Box, and a “WPT ARRIVAL - Arriving at waypoint
- [xxxx]” is displayed in the Alerts Window. When
Arrival Alert is set to OFF, only the PFD Navigation Status
Box message “Arriving at waypoint” is displayed, and
it is displayed when the time to the final destination is
approximately ten seconds.
