If the UFCP fails, shortcuts are provided on the NAV display to enter a frequency and an altimeter setting.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not applicable
• D. Unrelated

Answer: (B)

Redundancy in cockpit design ensures you can still perform essential tasks even if a primary panel fails. The UFCP is the main interface used to tune navigation and communication parameters, including entering a radio frequency and an altimeter setting. If the UFCP fails, having shortcuts on the NAV display to input a frequency and the altimeter setting keeps critical functions available—you can still establish communications and maintain correct altitude information. This fallback supports safe flight by preserving access to the tools that directly affect navigation and altitude awareness.

So, the statement is true because backup entry methods on the NAV display are intentionally provided to maintain those essential capabilities when the UFCP is not operational. The other options don’t fit because they imply no backup exists or that the scenario is irrelevant, which contradicts standard cockpit redundancy design.
