  1. Q1

    Under JAR-25 colour code rules, features displayed in red on an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), indicate:

    • A warnings, flight envelope and system limits
    • B flight envelope and system limits, engaged modes
    • Cwarnings, cautions and abnormal sources
    • Dcautions and abnormal sources, engaged modes
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A. warnings, flight envelope and system limits

    Under JAR-25 EFIS colour convention, red is reserved for warnings and for flight-envelope and system limits that demand immediate attention. Cautions and abnormal conditions are shown in amber, not red.

  2. Q2

    Under JAR-25 colour code rules, features displayed in amber/yellow on an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), indicate:

    • A cautions, abnormal sources
    • Bflight envelope and system limits
    • C warnings
    • D engaged modes
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A. cautions, abnormal sources

    Under JAR-25 EFIS colour rules, amber or yellow is used to display cautions and abnormal sources that require awareness but not immediate action. Warnings and hard limits are shown in red, not amber.

  3. Q3

    Under JAR-25 colour code rules, features displayed in green on an Electronic Flight

    • A 139° - 35 NM
    • B129° - 46 NM
    • C132° - 36 NM
    • D 212° - 26 NM
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A. 139° - 35 NM

    Solving the track and distance between the two charted positions gives a course of about 139 degrees and a range of about 35 NM. The northward-and-eastward geometry of the fixes produces this short southeasterly leg.
