AURAL ALERTING
Aural alerting is provided through on-side headset audio and cockpit speakers for
various aircraft conditions and are listed in priority based on action required by flight
crew.

Aural alerting is routed through the PFD audio system. Should one PFD fail, the
pilot must select the cross-side PFD using the COM SOURCE select to retain
aural alerting though the headset.
