The flight deck remote access system (FDRAS) panel status color for invalid keypad entry is ______.

• A. Flashing Red
• B. Steady red
• C. Amber
• D. Green

Answer: (A)

Visual status indicators in cockpit systems use color and blinking patterns to convey urgency and state at a glance. For an invalid keypad entry on the flight deck remote access system, a fast-flashing red light signals an error state that demands immediate attention. The flashing pattern helps distinguish this as an actionable issue, not a normal condition. In comparison, steady red typically indicates a persistent alarm or fault, amber signals a warning or caution, and green denotes normal/secure operation. Therefore, flashing red is the appropriate indicator for an invalid keypad entry.
