Despite the mods advice people are still repeating previously answered questions, and still using confusing half fact terminology.

Sid has told you, there is one warning system.

There are no amber warnings.

ALL of the CAUTIONS would have been displayed on the ONE CAD screen.

The AAIB report only comments on the WARNING panel not the CAD, because the cautions are not recorded.

If the CAD was not on due to fault/power loss (the AAIB are still investigating a display fault) then NONE of the cautions and Fuel information would have been displayed.

The Red Fuel Low WARNING would have been the very first and ONLY indication to the front seat occupants that there was a problem with the location of the fuel, if that warning did not display in time for the RFM '10 minutes to land drill' to be actioned because of sensor inaccuracy previously experienced (on other 135s) we can see how it MIGHT have left the crew with little if any time to act before flame outs occurred.

I do think that once and IF these issues have been robustly proved not to be the case, the pilots actions will rightly become the focus of attention.
