With aircraft weight on the ground and the avionics switch OFF, application of ground or battery power will turn on only the ______ MFD with ________ as the default display.

• A. Right-hand, EICAS
• B. Center, EICAS
• C. Center, PFD
• D. Right-hand, PFD

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how the aircraft’s power-on behavior selects which display comes up and what it shows first when avionics are off and power is applied on the ground. In this scenario, only the right-hand MFD powers up, and its default page is EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System). This arrangement ensures the most critical information—engine data, system status, and alerts—is available immediately as power is applied, while other displays stay off until additional power or configuration allows them to come online. The center or left-hand displays aren’t the initial active screen in this setup, which is why the right-hand MFD showing EICAS is the correct outcome.
