acknowledges the presence of the warning alert and
stops the aural tone, if applicable.
• CAUTION: This level of alert indicates the exis-
tence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that
may require pilot intervention. A caution alert is
accompanied by an annunciation in the Annun-

annunciation, as shown in Figure A-3. Pressing
