In Level 1 Unstabilized operation, pressing the SAS ON button on the cyclic moves the system to Level 2 Backup SAS.

• A. False
• B. Not Applicable
• C. True
• D. N/A

Answer: (C)

In this scenario, the system is asking what happens when you activate stabilization while it’s not stabilizing yet. When you’re in Level 1 Unstabilized operation, there’s no active stabilization. Pressing the SAS ON button starts the stabilization system and switches to a backup stabilization mode, Level 2 Backup SAS. This provides essential stabilization support as a fallback if the primary path isn’t active, helping to keep control and reduce pilot workload. That makes the statement true. The other options don’t fit because they would imply no transition or an inapplicable status, which isn’t the behavior described.
