7.8 Flight Crew Alerting System
The Flight Crew Alerting System is a central feature of the SkyView HDX system. This system
provides the pilot and crew with system information organized by priority for all installed SkyView
HDX sub-systems. The alerts and messages will vary depending upon the installed equipment.
This section describes all possible alerts and messages.
System information is delivered in the form of flight crew Alerts and Messages that are organized

1.

alert conditions are flightpath related, the messages appear on the Primary Flight
Display.

awareness and immediate flight crew response. These alerts appear in the Message
Notification Window described in Section
2.
Caution Alerts:

and subsequent flight crew response. These alerts appear in the Message Notification
