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

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

Answer: (A)

Steady red is used to clearly signal a persistent denial of access. In status indicator systems, red flags a problem or restricted condition, and when the light is steady (not flashing), it communicates that the condition is ongoing and requires attention or authorization to change. Green would mean normal/authorized access, and amber typically indicates a caution or warning. Since the situation is access denied, the steady red combination most precisely conveys that the block is in effect and not a transient fault, which is why it’s the best match.
