How are messages displayed in the CAS list?

• A. The reverse chronological sequence that they have been triggered, with the oldest message on the top.
• B. Alphabetical order.
• C. The chronological sequence that they have been triggered, with the most recent message on the top.
• D. Randomized order.

Answer: (C)

Messages in the CAS (Crew Alerting System) list are displayed in chronological order of when they were triggered, with the most recent message appearing at the top. This arrangement allows flight crew members to easily identify and address the most current and relevant alerts or messages first, which is crucial in managing cockpit resources and maintaining operational safety. By placing the latest information at the top, it enhances situational awareness, enabling pilots to respond promptly to urgent issues while keeping track of prior alerts. This systematic approach to displaying messages ensures that the crew can effectively monitor and manage their alerts during flight operations.
