Messages are used for conditions that require immediate flight crew awareness and
may require subsequent flight crew response. These alerts appear in the Message
Notification Window described in Section
Notification Methods
Whenever a new non-flightpath alert is triggered, the Alert Notification Indicator (i.e., button
label) shown in
, flashes Red for Warning alerts, Yellow for Caution alerts, and Gray for
informational Messages. A corresponding voice aural annunciates a spoken word such as
"WARNING", "CAUTION" or "MESSAGE" depending on the alert type. Some alerts, like engine-
related Warnings, will annunciate the actual message name, such as "OIL PRESSURE", or
"AUTOPILOT DISCONNECT".
Figure 6: Warning Notification Indication
Pressing the WARNING, CAUTION, or MESSAGE button (i.e., Button #8) opens the Alert
Notification Window. This window displays text associated with each active alert. After pressing
the button, the alerts present in the window are considered acknowledged and the indicator
stops flashing. The indicator color corresponds with highest alert level that is currently being
triggered. Individual alerts may be configured by the installer to require acknowledgement after
they have been triggered for the alert to disappear.
The appearance of alerts within the Alert Notification Window change when first triggered and
after acknowledgement. The difference between an un-acknowledged and acknowledged
message is shown in
. This difference is consistent with all alerts, regardless of color.
When no alerts are active, the Alert Indicator states, "NO MSG".
