SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AVOIDANCE Appendix A Annunciations and Alerts Note: The Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) supersedes information found in this document. The G2000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using the following items: • Alerts Window: The Alerts Window (Figure A-1) automatically appears in the lower-right of the PFD when condition(s) warrant. The window contains abbreviated annunciation text. The text color is based on the alert levels described in the following section. Warning (red) and caution (yellow) annunciations cause a corresponding red WARNING or yellow CAUTION Softkey to flash until the alert is acknowledged by pressing the respective softkey. Advisory (white) annunciations do not have a corresponding flashing softkey or acknowledgement. All warning alerts appear within view in the Alerts Window, without the need to scroll. If there are more caution and/or advisory alerts than can be shown in the Alerts Window viewing area, a scroll bar appears in the window, and the CAS Softkey on the PFD becomes available. Press the CAS Softkey to display the second-level CAS Softkeys which allow for scrolling in the list of caution and advisory alerts, while the existing warning alerts remain at the top of the window. Press the CAS Up or CAS Dn Softkeys to scroll up or down respectively, or press the Back Softkey to return to the top-level PFD Softkeys. If a new warning or caution alert is issued while the Alerts Window is already displayed, the new alert appears at the top of the window, separated by a divider line from the existing alerts. After the new warning or caution alert is acknowledged, the alert appears at the top of its respective level of alerts, and the divider line is removed. Higher priority alerts are displayed toward the top of the Alerts Window. • Softkey Annunciation: During a warning or caution alert, a red WARNING or yellow CAUTION Softkey appears as a flashing annunciation to accompany the Alerts Window text. Press the flashing softkey to acknowledge the alert and to extinguish the flashing softkey annunciation. • Notifications Screen: The Notifications Screen on the Touchscreen Controller displays prioritized G2000 System Messages and Aircraft Advisory Messages as text. These appear when the System Messages tab is selected. When the system issues a new message, the PFD displays a flashing 'MSG' annunciation, and the Touchscreen Controller displays a flashing MSG Button. Touch the MSG Button on the Touchscreen Controller to acknowledge the message and display the Notifications Screen on the Touchscreen Controller. The System Messages Tab momentarily indicates the number of new system messages in parenthesis. Touch the MSG Button a second time to remove the Notifications Screen. The Back or Home Buttons also remove the Notifications Screen in addition to their respective functions. When the Touchscreen Controller is displaying the Notifications Screen, the pilot can also scroll through the messages. Active messages are shown in white text. If a message becomes inactive while the Notifications Screen is already displayed, the inactive message text becomes gray. • System Annunciations: Typically, a large yellow or red 'X' appears in a window associated with information from a failed LRU. The color of the 'X' is dependent on the window. For example, a red 'X' appears over the Airspeed Indicator in a failure condition; a yellow 'X' appears over a failed Vertical Speed Indicator. See the G2000 System Annunciations section for more information. • Audio Alerting System: The system issues audio alert tones or voice alerts when specific system conditions are met. See the Alert Levels Definitions section for more information. HAZARD AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 190-01263-01 Rev. A Garmin G2000 Pilot's Guide for the Cessna T240 549
