Traffic Annunciation; Taws Annunciations; Altitude Alerting - Garmin G1000 Pilot's Manual

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
TRAFFIC ANNUNCIATION
If a second TA appears or if the number of TAs displayed decreases then increases, new aural and
NOTE:
visual alerts are generated.
The G1000 System displays traffic symbolically on the Inset Map (PFD), the Navigation Map Page (MFD), and
various other MFD page maps. Refer to the Hazard Avoidance Section and Appendix F for more details about
the Traffic Information Service (TIS). When a traffic advisory (TA) is detected, the following automatically
occurs:
• The PFD Inset Map is enabled, displaying traffic
• A flashing black-on-yellow 'TRAFFIC' annunciation (Figure 2-31) appears to the top left of the Attitude
Indicator for five seconds and remains displayed until no TAs are detected in the area
• A single "TRAFFIC" aural alert is generated

TAWS ANNUNCIATIONS

Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) annunciations appear on the PFD to the upper left of the
Altimeter (also where the Marker Beacon Annunciations appear). Refer to the Hazard Avoidance Section and
Appendix A for information on TAWS alerts and annunciations.

ALTITUDE ALERTING

The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with visual and aural alerts when approaching the Selected
Altitude. Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. The Altitude Alerter is
independent of the GFC 700 AFCS, but alerting tones are generated only when the AFCS is present.
The following occurs when approach the Selected Altitude:
• Upon passing through 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter)
changes to black text on a light blue background, flashes for 5 seconds, and an aural tone is generated.
• When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude changes to light blue text
on a black background and flashes for 5 seconds.
• After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation band (±200 feet of the Selected
Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to yellow text on a black background, flashes for 5 seconds, and an
aural tone is generated.
