flight instrumentsFAA-published sample question (IRA, Aug 2021)

A
compensate for an airman's lack of skill or knowledge.
B
offer new capabilities and simplify the basic flying task.✓ Correct Answer
C
improve flight awareness by allowing the pilot to simply watch for alerts
Explanation
The FAA's Advanced Avionics Handbook describes electronic flight displays as offering new capabilities and simplifying the basic flying task, provided the pilot is properly trained. The same handbook stresses that advanced avionics do not make up for a lack of skill or knowledge, and that simply waiting for alerts is not a substitute for active monitoring.
