A Level 1 FADEC failure is indicated on the EICAS page with a _______ caution when the FADEC control switch is in the IDLE or OFF position.

A Level 1 FADEC failure is indicated on the EICAS page with a _______ caution when the FADEC control switch is in the IDLE or OFF position.

• A. GOV LVL 1
• B. GOV LVL 2
• C. GOV LVL 3
• D. NO CAUTION

Answer: (A)

The warning is shown as a GOV LVL 1 caution on EICAS when a FADEC fault is detected and the FADEC control switch is in IDLE or OFF. This reflects that the fault is the lowest level of governor degradation—not a total loss of control, but a degraded condition that the flight crew should monitor and address. In this state, the system communicates a Level 1 fault specifically with the governor indication, rather than a higher-severity alert. Level 2 or Level 3 would indicate more severe faults and would be surfaced with higher-level warnings or different messages, not the Level 1 caution described here. No caution would be incorrect because a FADEC fault is present and is being actively signaled.
