The UFCP persistent display is the default presentation and appears after inactivity of how many seconds?

• A. 30 seconds
• B. 20 seconds
• C. 10 seconds
• D. 60 seconds

Answer: (B)

In cockpit displays, an inactivity timeout determines when the screen reverts to a default, persistent view. This ensures essential information stays easy to access without keeping the display cluttered during normal operation. The UFCP is set to revert after twenty seconds of inactivity, meaning if you haven’t touched controls for twenty seconds, it automatically returns to the persistent display. This timing keeps you oriented quickly after a moment of looking away, without interrupting your current task too soon or letting outdated information linger for too long. A shorter timeout would be too disruptive during data entry, while longer ones could reduce situational awareness if you lose track of the current screen.
