Which safety system alerts crew to potential mechanical failures?

The Automated Warning System is designed specifically to identify and notify the crew of potential mechanical failures in an aircraft. It continuously monitors various systems and components, detecting anomalies that could indicate a malfunction. When a problem is detected, the system provides visual and audible alerts to ensure that the crew is promptly informed of any issues that may affect the safety and operation of the aircraft.

This immediate warning capability allows crew members to take necessary precautions, follow standard operating procedures, and implement corrective actions swiftly. This system plays a critical role in maintaining safety during flight, as it helps in early identification of failures that may not be apparent through regular flight operations.

The other systems mentioned serve different purposes; for example, the Emergency Locator Transmitter is used for locating the aircraft in the event of an emergency, Cockpit Resource Management focuses on effectively utilizing all available resources for safe flight operations, and the Flight Management System aids in navigation and flight planning. While all these systems contribute to overall aircraft safety, the Automated Warning System is uniquely dedicated to monitoring and alerting the crew specifically about mechanical failures.
