What should be monitored on the EICAS during critical phases of flight?

Monitoring warnings and advisories on the Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) during critical phases of flight is essential for maintaining safety and operational integrity. The critical phases include takeoff, landing, and any significant changes in altitude or flight path where attention needs to be focused on immediate aircraft performance and systems.

Warnings indicate conditions that require immediate attention, such as engine failures or severe system malfunctions, while advisories provide important information about system statuses that may not be critical but still warrant awareness. By keeping a vigilant eye on these alerts, pilots can respond swiftly to potential issues, enabling them to take corrective actions to ensure the safety of the flight.

While monitoring fuel quantity, engine temperature, and electrical status is also important for overall flight management, the urgency of direct warnings and advisories takes precedence during critical phases due to their potential impact on operation and safety. Thus, prioritizing the monitoring of warnings and advisories allows for prompt decision-making in the face of any emergent situation.
