PSA Airlines Canadair Regional Jet Systems (PSA-CRJ) Practice Exam

Which EICAS messages are typically associated with a voice message?

1. Advisory

2. Caution

3. Warning

4. Status

The correct answer is: Warning

The correct choice pertains to "Warning" messages. In the context of EICAS (Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System), warning messages are critical alerts that indicate an immediate and potentially serious condition that requires prompt crew attention. These messages are designed to alert pilots quickly to situations that could lead to safety incidents if not addressed immediately. In the PSA Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) systems, voice warnings accompany warning messages to heighten their urgency; this is an important safety feature meant to ensure that the flight crew does not overlook severe issues while managing other tasks in the cockpit. While advisory and caution messages inform the crew of less urgent issues, they do not typically come with accompanying voice alerts. Status messages relate to general operational data and do not require immediate attention, hence they are also not associated with voice alerts. Thus, the presence of voice messages is a specific characteristic tied to warning messages, underscoring their importance in flight safety and crew awareness.
