The G1000 Alert System conveys alerts to the pilot using combinations of the following features:
Alert Window:
The Alert window displays alert text messages. Pressing the ALERTS softkey displays the Alerts
window. Pressing the ALERTS softkey again removes the Alerts window from the display.
Softkey Annunciation:
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 label changes to ADVISORY as shown in
Figure 5-3. Pressing the ADVISORY softkey annunciation acknowledges the presence of the alert and
displays the advisory message in the Alert Window.
