Statement I: Displaying misleading information is treated as more hazardous than displaying nothing.

Statement II: A blank display tells the crew to look elsewhere while a plausible wrong value does not.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • B.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • C.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • D.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Answer: D

Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Both statements are correct and the second explains the first. A blank or flagged display announces its own failure: the crew knows the information is gone and turns to the standby instruments or the other pilot's display.

A plausible but wrong value announces nothing, and may be acted upon. Certification reflects this asymmetry - misleading primary flight information is classified as catastrophic and allocated a probability target of \( 10^{-9} \) per flight hour, while loss of the same information is treated less severely, which is why display systems are built to fail conspicuously rather than quietly.
