The Cessna aircraft Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) supersedes information found in this 

document.

The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items:

• Annunciation Window:  The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text.  Text color is based 

on alert levels described later in the Alert Levels Definitions section.  The Annunciation Window is located to 
the right of the Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicator on the display.  All Cessna Nav III annunciations can 
be displayed simultaneously in the Annunciation Window.  A white horizontal line separates annunciations 
that are acknowledged from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged.  Higher priority annunciations are 
displayed towards the top of the window.  Lower priority annunciations are displayed towards the bottom of 
the window.

• Alerts Window:  The Alerts Window displays alert text messages.  Up to 64 prioritized alert messages can be 

displayed in the Alerts Window.  Pressing the ALERTS Softkey displays the Alerts Window.  Pressing the ALERTS 
Softkey a second time removes the Alerts Window from the display.  When the Alerts Window is displayed, the 
pilot can use the large FMS Knob to scroll through the alert message list.

• Softkey Annunciation:  During certain alerts, the ALERTS Softkey may appear as a flashing annunciation to 

accompany an alert.  The ALERTS Softkey assumes a new label consistent with the alert level (WARNING, 
CAUTION, or ADVISORY).  By pressing the softkey annunciation, the pilot acknowledges awareness of the 
alert.  The softkey then returns to the previous ALERTS label.  If alerts are still present, the ALERTS label is 
displayed in inverse video (white background with black text).  The pilot can press the ALERTS Softkey a 
second time to view alert text messages.

• System Annunciations:  Typically, a large red ‘X’ appears in windows when a failure is detected in the LRU providing 

the information to the window.  See the G1000 System Annunciations section for more information.

• Audio Alerting System:  The G1000 system issues audio alert tones when specific system conditions are met.  

See the Alert Levels Definitions section for more information.
