APPENDIX A
ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS
AIRCRAFT ALERTS
NOTE: The Airplane Flight Manual Supplement supersedes information found in this document.
The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items:
• Alerts Window: The Alerts Window displays alert text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alerts can be displayed in the
Alerts Window. Pressing the ALERTS Softkey displays the Alerts Window. Pressing the ALERTS Softkey again removes
the Alerts Window from the display. When the Alerts Window is displayed, the pilot may use the Large FMS Knob
to scroll through the alert list. Higher priority alerts are displayed at the top of the window. Lower priority alerts are
displayed at the bottom of the window. Active alerts are displayed in white text. Alerts that have become inactive will
change to gray text. The ALERTS Softkey will flash if the state of a displayed alert changes or a new alert is displayed.
The inactive alerts can be removed from the Alerts Window by pressing the flashing ALERTS Softkey.
• ALERTS Softkey Annunciation: When the Alerting System issues an alert, the ALERTS Softkey is used as a flashing
annunciation to accompany an alert. During the alert, the ALERTS Softkey assumes a new label consistent with alert
level (WARNING, CAUTION, or ADVISORY). Pressing the softkey annunciation acknowledges that the pilot is aware
of the alert. The softkey then returns to the previous ALERTS label. The pilot can then press the ALERTS Softkey
again to view alert text messages.
• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red ‘X’ appears in a window when a related LRU fails or detects invalid
data.
• Audio Alerting System: The G1000 system issues audio alert tones when specific system conditions are met. See the
Alert Levels Definitions section for more information.
