ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS

10.1 INTRODUCTION

NOTE: The Beechcraft A36/G36 Pilot’s Operat­ing Handbook (POH) supercedes the information
contained in this Pilot’s Guide.

This Pilot’s Guide describes G1000 Alerts, annuncia­tions, and messages. Alerts, annunciations, and messages
are conveyed to the pilot using a combination of the fol­lowing items:

• 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
PFD display (or the MFD if system is in reversion­ary mode). All A36/G36 annunciations can be
displayed simultaneously. A white horizontal line
separates annunciations that are acknowledged
from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged.
Acknowledged annunciations are always above the
line. Annuciations are displayed in order of priority
from top to bottom. The highest priority annun­ciation is displayed at the top of the Annunciation
Window.

• ALERTS Softkey Annunciation: When the Alert-
ing System issues an alert, the ALERTS softkey is
used as a flashing annunciation to accompany an
alert. During the alert, the ALERTS softkey assumes
a new label consistent with alert level (WARNING,
CAUTION, or ADVISORY). Pressing the softkey
annunciation acknowledges that the pilot is aware
of the alert. The softkey then returns to the previ­ous ALERTS label. The pilot can then press the
ALERTS softkey again to view alert text messages.

• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red ‘X’
appears in a window when a related LRU fails or
detects invalid data.

text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alerts can be dis­played in the Alerts window. Pressing the ALERTS
softkey displays the Alerts window. Pressing the
ALERTS softkey again removes the Alerts window
from the display. When the Alerts window is dis­played, the pilot may use the large FMS knob to
scroll through the alert list. Higher priority alerts are
displayed at the top of the window. Lower priority
alerts are displayed at the bottom of the window.

10.2 ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS

ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS

The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Beechcraft

A36/G36 aircraft, uses three

alert levels.

• WARNING: This level of alert requires immediate
pilot attention. A warning alert is accompanied
by an annunciation in the Annunciation window.
Warning text appearing in the Annunciation window
is RED. A warning alert is also accompanied by a
flashing WARNING softkey annunciation, as shown
in Figure 10.2.1. Pressing the WARNING softkey
acknowledges the presence of the warning alert and
stops the aural tone, if applicable.

• CAUTION: This level of alert indicates the exis­tence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that
may require pilot intervention. A caution alert is
accompanied by an annunciation in the Annun­ciation window. Caution text appearing in the
Annunciation window is YELLOW. A caution alert
is also accompanied by a flashing CAUTION softkey
annunciation, as shown in Figure 10.2.2. Pressing
the CAUTION softkey acknowledges the presence
of the caution alert.

• MESSAGE ADVISORY: This level of alert provides

general information to the pilot. A message advisory
alert does not issue annunciations in the Annuncia­tion window. Instead, message advisory alerts only
issue a flashing ADVISORY softkey annunciation,
as shown in Figure 10.2.3. Pressing the ADVISORY
softkey acknowledges the presence of the message
advisory alert and displays the alert text message in
the Alerts window.
