When is the CANOPY annunciator activated?

• A. Canopy is locked and secured.
• B. Canopy is unlocked and unsafe.
• C. Canopy is operational.
• D. Canopy is fully open.

Answer: (B)

The CANOPY annunciator is activated when the canopy is in an unlocked and unsafe position. This serves as an important safety alert, indicating that the canopy is not properly secured, which could pose a risk during operation. The warning helps ensure that the pilot is aware that the canopy is in a state that could lead to potential accidents or issues if the aircraft is operated in that condition.

In contrast, the other states described do not trigger the annunciator because they indicate that the canopy is either locked and secured, operational, or fully open—conditions typically considered safe or normal for the operation of the aircraft.
