5.1 G1000 Alerting System
System Annunciations
The G1000 Alert System conveys alerts to the pilot using combinations of the following features:
Annunciation Window:
The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. The Annunciation window is located
to the right of the Altitude and Vertical Speed windows on the display. All 12 DA 40-specific
annunciations can be displayed simultaneously.
Alert Window:
The Alert window displays alert text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alerts can be displayed in the Alert
window. Pressing the ALERTS softkey displays the Alerts window. Pressing the ALERTS softkey again
removes the Alerts window from the display.
Softkey Annuncation:
When the G1000 Alerting System issues an alert, the ALERTS softkey is used as a flashing annunciation
to accompany the alert. During the alert, the ALERTS softkey assumes a new label consistent with the
alert level (WARNING, CAUTION, or ADVISORY). Pressing the softkey annunciation acknowledges
the presence of the alert and returns the softkey to its previous ALERTS label.
System Failure Annunciations:
Typically, a large red X appears in windows when a failure is detected in the LRU providing the
information to the window.
