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

• A. LEVEL 1
• B. LEVEL 2
• C. LEVEL 3
• D. LEVEL 4

Answer: (A)

GOV LVL on the EICAS is how the system communicates the severity of a FADEC fault. Level 1 is the least severe indication, used to alert you that a FADEC fault exists without implying immediate, catastrophic failure. When the FADEC control switch is in IDLE or OFF, the engine isn’t being actively controlled by FADEC in the normal commanded mode, so a fault is reported at the lowest level of severity. That’s why you see a Level 1 FADEC failure with a GOV LVL 1 caution in those positions. Higher levels would indicate more serious faults or conditions applicable in other switch or operating states, not the IDLE/OFF state described here. So the situation described matches the Level 1 designation—the minimal, non-catastrophic fault warning appropriate for the FADEC in IDLE or OFF.
