SYSTEM OVERVIEW BARO Transition Alert See the Flight Instruments section for a discussion on setting the Baro Transition Alert. Airspace Alerts The Airspace Alerts Box allows the pilot to turn the controlled/special-use airspace message alerts on or off. This does not affect the alerts listed on the Nearest Airspaces Page or the airspace boundaries depicted on the MFD Navigation Map Page. It simply turns on/off the warning provided when the aircraft is approaching or near an airspace. Alerts for the following airspaces can be turned on/off in the Airspace Alerts Box: • Class B/TMA • Restricted • Class C/TCA • MOA (Military) • Class D • Other airspaces An altitude buffer is also provided which "expands" the vertical range above or below an airspace. For example, if the buffer is set at 500 feet, and the aircraft is more than 500 feet above/below an airspace, an alert message is not generated, but if the aircraft is less than 500 feet above/below an airspace and projected to enter it, the pilot is notified with an alert message. The default setting for the altitude buffer is 200 feet. To change the altitude buffer distance setting: 1) While on the System Setup 1 Page, press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor. 2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the altitude buffer field in the Airspace Alerts Box. 3) Turn the FMS Knobs to enter an altitude buffer value and press the ENT Key. To turn an airspace alert on or off: 1) While on the System Setup 1 Page, press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor. 2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field in the Airspace Alerts Box. 3) Turn the small FMS Knob clockwise to turn the airspace alert ON or counterclockwise to turn the alert OFF. Arrival Alerts The Arrival Alert Box on the System Setup 1 Page allows arrival alerts to be turned on/off and the alert trigger distance set. An arrival alert can be set to notify the pilot with a message upon reaching a userspecified distance from the final destination (the direct-to waypoint or the last waypoint in a flight plan). Once the set distance (up to 99.9 units) has been reached, an "Arrival at [waypoint]" message is displayed in the PFD Navigation Status Box. Enabling/disabling an arrival alert: 1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the AUX Page group. 2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select System Setup. 3) If necessary, press the SETUP 1 Softkey to select the System Setup 1 Page. 4) Press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor. 34 Garmin G1000H™ Pilot's Guide for the Bell 407GX 190-01255-00 Rev.
