Probably a good idea. Particularly with noise cancelling headsets, the
alerts don't have to be loud to get one's attention. The woman's voice
is sufficiently different to be "obvious" (to me, at least).

Your comment about annunciation priorities is an interesting one. You
should send some email to Garmin support and make a feature request.
I've made a few myself, including reducing the minimum altitude
deviation warning from 200 feet to something like 50-100 feet,
selectable in 10' increments. I want to know I'm drifting before ATC
tells me.

Of course, with the whole of Garmin's engineering staff working on the
G1000, all of the other products -- GTX330 included -- are being treated
like orphans at this point. Who knows when they'll get around to fixing
this stuff.

Doug, please take solace in the fact that I am someone who still takes
complete responsibility for my own actions. Of course, I cannot vouch for
anyone else who reads your post here so I certainly understand your
disclaimer.

In a public forum, I've found I can't be too confident about how
information will be used (or misused). As you correctly surmised, the
disclaimer was directed at the group in general, more than you specifically.

Safe flying,

-Doug
