SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS
& ALERTS
• 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.
12.1 ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS
The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Diamond
DA40 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.
