When a flashing master warning (MASTER WARN) or master caution (MASTER CAUT) switchlight is reset, the associated message in the CAS on the EICAS display will ______ for as long as the malfunction or failure condition persists.

• A. Begin flashing
• B. Remain on steady
• C. Also reset
• D. Extinguish, the relight

Answer: (B)

When a fault triggers a master warning or master caution, the light on the switch flashes to rapidly grab your attention. Resetting that switch stops the flashing, but it does not clear the underlying fault indication on the CAS/EICAS. The associated message on EICAS stays present as a steady indicator for as long as the malfunction or failure condition persists, so you know the issue is still active and requires action. The message will disappear only after the fault is resolved or cleared. This separation—flash for attention, steady display for persistence—helps ensure you don’t overlook ongoing problems even if the lamp stops flashing.
