SECTION 3 ENGINE INDICATION AND CREW ALERTING SYSTEM (EICAS)
NOTE: Refer to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for limitations.
The G1000 offers improved flight operations and reduces crew workload by automatically monitoring critical
system parameters and providing system alerts during all phases of flight using the following:
•The Engine Indication System (EIS) displays electrical, fuel, engine, pressurization, and flight control
information on the left side of the Multi Function Display (MFD).
•TheCrew Alerting System (CAS) displays advisories, cautions, and warnings to communicate conditions,
statuses, and system failures. CAS messages are grouped by level of importance and color-coded based on
urgency and appear on the left side of the MFD.
In combination with the EICAS, aural alerts, additional avionics messages, and master indicators are used to
inform the crew of aberrant flight conditions. The system also provides an improved level of maintenance data
for the ground crew.
