ENGINE INDICATION & CREW ALERTING SYSTEM

CAS MESSAGE PRIORITIZATION

NOTE: Information on CAS messages in this pilot’s guide is always superseded by the RFM. Refer to the RFM

for recommended pilot actions.

CAS messages are grouped by criticality (warning, caution, advisory, safe operating advisory) and sorted by

order of appearance (most recent messages on top). The color of the message is based on its urgency and on

required action.

•Warning (red) – Immediate crew awareness and immediate crew action required; accompanied by one or

more aural tones; and a steady ‘WARNING’’ PBA light is illuminated above the PFD.

•Caution (yellow) – Immediate crew awareness and subsequent corrective action required; accompanied by a

steady ‘CAUTION’ PBA light is illuminated above the PFD.

•Advisory (white) – Crew awareness required and subsequent action may be required.

•Safe Operating Advisory (green) – Crew awareness required.

A CAS message does not appear more than once at a given time. Warning and caution CAS messages ﬂash

when they are generated, and continue to ﬂash until acknowledged, or until the triggered condition is inactive

for more than three seconds.

After the acknowledgment, a message remains displayed at the top of its respective priority group in the CAS

Window until either a newer message of the same priority appears or the condition(s) that caused the alert to

display no longer exist, at which point the message is removed.

NOTE: See the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for recommended pilot actions.
