STRMSCP FAIL – Stormscope has
failed.

variance. Verify all course angles.
SCHEDULER [#] – <message>.
AFCS ALERTS
The following alert annunciations appear in the AFCS System Status field on the PFD.
Condition
Pitch Failure
Roll Failure
MET Switch Stuck, or
Pitch Trim Axis Control
Failure
System Failure
Elevator Mistrim Up
Elevator Mistrim
Down
Aileron Mistrim Left
Aileron Mistrim Right
Preflight Test
Do not press the AP DISC switch during servo power-up and preflight system tests as this may cause
NOTE:
the preflight system test to fail or never to start (if servos fail their power-up tests). Power must be cycled
to the servos to remedy the situation.

Stormscope has failed. The G1000 system should be serviced.
The GDU's internal model cannot determine the exact magnetic variance for
geographic locations near the magnetic poles. Displayed magnetic course angles may
differ from the actual magnetic heading by more than 2°.

Annunciation Description
Pitch axis control failure. AP is inoperative.
Roll axis control failure. AP is inoperative.
If annunciated when AP is engaged, take control of the aircraft and disengage the autopilot.
If annunciated when AP is not engaged, move each half of the MET switch separately to
check if a stuck switch is causing the annunciation.
AP and MET are unavailable. FD may still be available.
A condition has developed causing the pitch servo to provide a sustained force. Be prepared
to apply nose up control wheel force upon autopilot disconnect.
A condition has developed causing the pitch servo to provide a sustained force. Be prepared
to apply nose down control wheel force upon autopilot disconnect.
A condition has developed causing the roll servo to provide a sustained left force. Ensure
the slip/skid indicator is centered and observe any maximum fuel imbalance limits.
A condition has developed causing the roll servo to provide a sustained right force. Ensure
the slip/skid indicator is centered and observe any maximum fuel imbalance limits.
Performing preflight system test. Upon completion of the test, the aural alert will be heard.
Preflight system test has failed.
