What will happen if a failure occurs during an inhibited phase?

When a failure occurs during an inhibited phase, the Electronic / Flight Warning System (E/WD) is designed to suppress certain warnings to avoid unnecessary alerts to the crew during specific conditions, such as during takeoff or landing. This suppression enables crews to focus on critical operational tasks without being distracted by hazards that are deemed non-essential to manage at that time.

In this context, option C accurately reflects the system's behavior: the E/WD will not display the warning until the specific phase of flight or condition has been un-inhibited. This means that while the failure exists, the system continues to prioritize safety and performance by delaying the notification of the warning until it is appropriate to alert the crew based on the current phase of flight.

The other choices do not align with the operational logic of the E/WD. The immediate display of the warning suggested in the first choice contradicts the rationale behind inhibiting warnings. Continuing to show previous warnings, as mentioned in the second choice, would not accurately represent the conditions of a new failure occurring. Lastly, alerting the crew immediately, as indicated by the fourth option, does not occur during inhibited phases designed to maintain operational focus.
