SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS
& ALERTS
12.1 ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS
The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Diamond
DA42 and DA42L 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 12-2. 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 exis-
tence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that
may require pilot intervention. A caution alert is
accompanied by an annunciation in the Annun-
ciation 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 12-3. 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 Annuncia-
tion window. Instead, message advisory alerts only
issue a flashing ADVISORY softkey annunciation,
as shown in Figure 12-4. Pressing the ADVISORY
softkey acknowledges the presence of the message
advisory alert and displays the alert text message in
