The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Cessna Nav III aircraft, uses three alert levels.

• WARNING:  This level of alert requires immediate pilot attention.  A warning alert is annunciated in the 

Annunciation Window and is accompanied by a continuous aural tone.  Text appearing in the Annunciation 
Window is RED.  A warning alert is also accompanied by a flashing WARNING Softkey annunciation, as 
shown in Figure A-2.  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 annunciated in the Annunciation Window and is accompanied by a single 
aural tone.  Text appearing in the Annunciation Window is YELLOW.  A caution alert is also accompanied 
by a flashing CAUTION Softkey annunciation, as shown in Figure A-3.  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 A-4.  Pressing the ADVISORY Softkey 
acknowledges the presence of the message advisory alert and displays the alert text message in the Alerts 
Window.

The following alerts are configured specifically for the Cessna Nav III aircraft.  See the Cessna Pilot’s Operating 

Handbook (POH) for information regarding pilot responses.
