The autopilot is disengaged. What kind of warning will the flight crew get?

  • A

    Both a visual and an aural warning.

  • B

    A vibration in the flight controls.

  • C

    An aural warning only.

  • D

    A visual warning only.

In case of autopilot disengagement, a continuous aural warning as well as a warning light will alert the pilots. The disengagement warning will continue to sound until it is acknowledged. In addition to the aural and visual warning preventing accidents, it is no longer permissible for modern autopilot systems to be disengaged solely by applying a certain amount of pressure to the control elements.
