The 2 cautions and one advisory associated with the Stabilator?

• A. STAB MANUAL MODE; STAB UNLOCKED; STAB DEGRADED
• B. STAB LOCKED; STAB AUTO; STAB DEGRADED
• C. STAB DEPLOYED; STAB MANUAL; STAB EXTENDED
• D. STAB ENABLED; STAB DISABLED; STAB DEGRADED

Answer: (A)

Stabilator warnings are presented as two cautions and one advisory. The cautions flag conditions that could affect safety and require the crew’s attention, while the advisory provides informational status without implying an immediate fault. In this set, two of the items indicate degraded or abnormal behavior: one shows the stabilator is unlocked, meaning it’s not in the expected locked position and could respond unpredictably to control inputs; the other shows the stabilator is degraded, signaling a fault that can reduce pitch authority or alter how the surface behaves. These are serious enough to warrant awareness and potential corrective action, hence they’re cautions. The remaining item is advisory: manual mode. This is informational, telling you that the stabilator is operating in manual control rather than being automatically stabilized. It doesn’t imply a fault, but it changes how you should anticipate the aircraft’s pitch response and manage your controls accordingly. Other combinations would mix in states like auto mode or locked status, which don’t align with the two cautions and one advisory scenario you’re being tested on. The given set correctly separates the malfunction warnings from the informational mode, matching how the UH-60S presents Stabilator status.
