ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS
The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in the Piper PA32 aircraft, uses three alert levels.
• WARNING: This level of alert requires immediate pilot attention. A warning alert is accompanied by an annunciation
in the Annunciation Window. Warning text appearing in the Annunciation Window is RED. A warning alert is also
accompanied by a flashing WARNING Softkey annunciation, as shown in Figure 12-2. Pressing the WARNING Softkey
acknowledges the presence of the warning alert and stops the aural tone, if applicable.
• CAUTION: This level of alert indicates the existence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that may require pilot
intervention. A caution alert is accompanied by an annunciation in the Annunciation Window. Caution text appearing
in the Annunciation Window is YELLOW. A caution alert is also accompanied by a flashing CAUTION Softkey
annunciation, as shown in Figure 12-3. Pressing the CAUTION Softkey acknowledges the presence of the caution
alert.
• MESSAGE ADVISORY: This level of alert provides general information to the pilot. A message advisory alert does not
issue annunciations in the Annunciation Window. Instead, message advisory alerts only issue a flashing ADVISORY
Softkey annunciation, as shown in Figure 12-4. Pressing the ADVISORY Softkey acknowledges the presence of the
message advisory alert and displays the alert text message in the Alerts Window.
