Multiple Choice

The pressure indicator will flash red when _________ the cabin.

Red flashing on a cabin pressure indicator signals a warning condition related to lingering air inside the cabin. Residual pressure means some pressurized air remains after the system has vented or after a depressurization event. This lingering pressure is what triggers the warning, because it indicates the cabin isn’t fully vented and could still pose a risk if panels are opened or if a rapid pressure change occurs. If the cabin had zero pressure, or if it were fully depressurized, that would be a different state and typically wouldn’t be indicated by a red flash for residual pressure. Normal pressure is the stable, safe condition and would not trigger a red warning.
