When the RA test button is pressed, what should be observed?

• A. 50 feet is indicated and the rising runway indicator appears.
• B. 100 feet altitude and a steady runway marker.
• C. No visual indicators change.
• D. An aural alert only.

Answer: (A)

When you press the RA test button, the system validates its visual cues for runway awareness. The expected result is a display of a 50-foot altitude along with a rising runway indicator, showing that the visual indicators and cue logic are functioning correctly. This combination proves the system can alert you to proximity to the runway and present the runway context during approach. The other outcomes—seeing 100 feet with a steady runway marker, no visual change at all, or only an audible alert—do not match how the test is designed to verify the visual runway awareness cues.
