The Flight Mode Annunciator provides status for which function?

• A. Flight Director modes
• B. Autopilot status
• C. Navigation system status
• D. Hydraulic system status

Answer: (A)

The Flight Mode Annunciator is focused on what guidance the flight director is commanding. It shows the active flight director modes—like which horizontal guidance (such as heading, nav tracking, or altitude) and vertical guidance (like vertical speed or altitude hold) are currently guiding the aircraft. This helps you quickly understand how the airplane is being steered and what to expect if you take control or disengage automation. Other systems, such as autopilot status, navigation system status, or hydraulic system status, are monitored by different indicators, not by this annunciator.
