SECTION 12: ANNUNCIATIONS &
ALERTS
NOTE: The Cessna aircraft Pilot's Operating
Handbook (POH) supersedes information found
in this document.
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. Text
color is based on alert levels described later in the
Alert Levels Definitions section. The Annunciation
Window is located to the right of the Altitude and
Vertical Speed boxes on the display. All Cessna Nav
III annunciations can be displayed simultaneously
in the Annunciation Window. A white horizontal
line separates annunciations that are acknowledged
from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged.
Higher priority annunciations are displayed towards
the top of the window. Lower priority annunciations
are displayed towards the bottom of the window.
• Alerts Window: The Alerts Window displays alert
text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alert messages
can be displayed in the Alerts Window. Pressing
the ALERTS Softkey displays the Alerts Window.
Pressing the ALERTS Softkey a second time removes
the Alerts Window from the display. When the Alerts
Window is displayed, the pilot can use the large FMS
Knob to scroll through the alert message list.
• Softkey Annunciation: During certain alerts,
the ALERTS Softkey may appear as a flashing
annunciation to accompany an alert. The ALERTS
Softkey assumes a new label consistent with the
alert level (WARNING, CAUTION, or ADVISORY).

SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS
By pressing the softkey annunciation, the pilot
acknowledges awareness of the alert. The softkey
then returns to the previous ALERTS label. If alerts
are still present, the ALERTS label will be displayed
in inverse video (white background with black text).
The pilot can press the ALERTS Softkey a second
time to view alert text messages.
• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red 'X'
appears in windows when a failure is detected in the
LRU providing the information to the window. See
the G1000 System Annunciations section for more
information.
• Audio Alerting System: The G1000 system issues
audio alert tones when specific system conditions are
met. See the Alert Levels Definitions section for more
information.
