The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items:
•
Annunciation Window
: The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. The Annunciation
Window is located to the right of the Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicator on the PFD display (or the MFD if system
is in Reversionary Mode). Up to 12 PA32 annunciations can be displayed simultaneously. A white horizontal line
separates annunciations that are acknowledged from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged. Acknowledged
annunciations are always above the line. Annunciations are displayed in order of priority from top to bottom. The
highest priority annunciation is displayed at the top of the Annunciation Window.
•
Alerts Window:
The Alerts Window displays alert text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alerts can be displayed 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 displayed, 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. Active alerts are displayed in white text. Alerts that have become inactive will
change to gray text. The
ALERTS
Softkey will flash if the state of a displayed alert changes or a new alert is displayed.
The inactive alerts can be removed from the Alerts Window by pressing the flashing
ALERTS
Softkey.
•
ALERTS Softkey Annunciation
: When the Alerting 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 previous
ALERTS
label. The pilot can then press the
ALERTS
Softkey
again to view alert text messages.
