A Level 2 FADEC failure is indicated on the EICAS page with a ____________________ caution.

A Level 2 FADEC failure is indicated on the EICAS page with a ____________________ caution.

• A. GOV LVL 1
• B. GOV LVL 2
• C. NONREDUNDANT
• D. FADEC FAIL

Answer: (B)

In the MH-65E, FADEC uses dual channels for redundancy. When a Level 2 FADEC fault occurs, one FADEC channel has failed and the governor operates with degraded authority from the remaining channel. The EICAS shows a GOV LVL 2 caution to warn you that the governor is degraded but still controllable, so you can expect some difference in engine/governor response and must monitor engine parameters closely and follow the FADEC fault procedures in the QRH. This is why the correct caution is GOV LVL 2. The other labels don’t match this specific degraded governor condition: Level 1 would indicate a different fault level, nonredundant isn’t the EICAS label for this scenario, and FADEC FAIL is a more generic indication than the level-specific governor warning.
