CAS MESSAGES AND PRIORITIZATION
NOTE: Refer to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for corrective pilot actions.
NOTE: Any CAS messages that are generated when the system is first powered on are considered already
acknowledged. They do not flash or trigger the Master Warning or Master Caution.
NOTE: Red warning messages cannot be scrolled through and remain at the top of the CAS display. The
scroll bar changes to yellow if more than ten caution messages exist to be scrolled through.
CAS messages are grouped by criticality (warning, caution, advisory) and sorted by order of appearance (most
recent messages on top). The color of the message is based on its urgency and on required action:
• Warning (red) – Immediate crew awareness and action required; Master Warning triggered
• Caution (yellow) – Immediate crew awareness and possible future corrective action required; Master Caution
triggered
• Advisory (white) – Crew awareness required and subsequent action may be required
CAS messages listed in Table 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5 are shown in the acknowledged state (text corresponding to
criticality on a black background).
When a new red CAS warning message appears, it flashes (inversely red on white) in conjunction with the
Master Warning Indicator and a repeating aural tone. Pressing the Master Warning Indicator acknowledges all
flashing red messages, extinguishes the master warning light, stops warning message flashing, and stops the
repeating aural tone. Once acknowledged, CAS warning messages are shown in red text and are displayed until
the issue is corrected.
When a new yellow caution message appears on the CAS display, it is shown inverse video, black on yellow in
conjunction with the Master Caution Indicator and a single aural tone. Pressing the Master Caution Indicator
acknowledges all yellow messages and extinguishes the master caution light. Messages are displayed until the
issue is corrected.
When a new white advisory message appears on the CAS display, it is shown inverse video, black on white.
There is no need to acknowledge an advisory.
Some CAS messages can be a warning, caution and advisory. A CAS message does not appear more than once
at a given time (unless the CAS is being tested). If signals are received that justify multiple priorities for a certain
message, the message is displayed for the higher priority condition. When graduating to a higher priority, the
message flashes and requires new acknowledgment. When degrading to a lower priority condition, the message
moves to the top of the appropriate grouping, but does not require new acknowledgment.
Red warning messages cannot be scrolled through and remain at the top of the CAS display. The scroll bar
appears if more caution and advisory messages exist than can be displayed at once or if messages have been
scrolled off the display. The CAS softkeys also become available.
