ARRIVAL ALERTS
The ARRIVAL ALERTS Box on the AUX – SYSTEM SETUP Page allows arrival alert messages to be turned
On/Off and the alert trigger distance (up to 99.9 units) set for alerts provided on the PFD alerts window and
Navigation Status Box. An arrival alert can be set to notify the pilot with a message upon reaching a user-
specified distance from the final destination (the direct-to waypoint or the last waypoint in a flight plan).
When Arrival Alerts is set to ‘On’, and the set distance is reached, an “Arrival at waypoint” message is displayed
in the PFD Navigation Status Box, and a “WPT ARRIVAL – Arriving at waypoint – [xxxx]” is displayed on the
PFD. When Arrival Alerts is set to ‘Off’, only the PFD Navigation Status Box message “Arriving at waypoint”
is displayed, and it is displayed when the time to the final destination is approximately ten seconds.
