What will happen if a failure occurs prior to an inhibited phase?

When a failure occurs prior to an inhibited phase, the Electronic Warning Display (E/WD) will indeed display the warning immediately. This is a critical aspect of the aircraft's safety and monitoring system. The logic behind this is to ensure that pilots are alerted to any potential issues as soon as they arise, rather than having to wait until a later phase where an alert would typically be presented. This immediate notification allows for timely assessment and action by the flight crew, which is essential for maintaining safety and operational integrity during flight.

The other options do not accurately reflect how the system is designed to handle failures at this stage. For example, delaying warnings until a subsequent phase could result in unsafe conditions if immediate action is needed. Likewise, ignoring the failure or not displaying the warning at all would not provide pilots with the necessary information to make informed decisions during critical flight operations. Thus, option B is validated by the system's intent to prioritize safety through prompt failure notifications.
