ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS
NOTE: The Piper Meridian Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) supersedes information found in this document.
CAS MESSAGES
The following messages are configured specifically for the Piper Meridian. Red annunciation window text
signifies warnings and yellow, cautions, and white, annunciation advisories. See the EICAS section for more
information on CAS messages. See the POH for recommended pilot actions.
DISPLAY INHIBITS
Inhibits prevent certain CAS messages from being displayed during the following conditions:
Engine off on ground (ESDI) Takeoff (TOPI)
Engine start on ground (ESI) Aircraft in air (AIR)
Aircraft on ground (Ground) Landing (LOPI)
Alerts affected by an inhibit are not displayed while the inhibit is enabled. If an alert is displayed prior to the
activation of an inhibit affecting it, the alert continues to be displayed normally until the condition causing the
alert ceases to exist.
If two alert levels of the same message are active simultaneously (e.g., DOOR AJAR warning and DOOR AJAR
advisory) only the higher alert level is displayed.
If a GEA or GIA fails, all CAS messages depending on sensors associated with that LRU are automatically
inhibited. Inhibits cannot be activated by invalid sensor data.
