ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS
CAS MESSAGES
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.
