Alarm and Information messages
Autopilot alarms, information and temporary setting changes are
displayed using “ pop-up” style messages. These messages appear in
front of the current display (single-, dual or quad-element screen) and
indicate a button with an associated action. On taking an action, the
display returns to the normal operating mode.
