ALERTS
NOTE: The Airplane Flight Manual Supplement
supersedes information found in this docu-
ment.
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 dis-
played 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 dis-
played, 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.
ALERTS Softkey Annunciation: When the Alert-
ing 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 previ-
ous 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.
