The CAD and MAN pushbuttons are associated with which cockpit feature?

• A. The VARTOMS Mode Selector
• B. The Oil Pressure Indicator
• C. The Fuel Gauge
• D. The Cabin Temperature Control

Answer: (A)

Mode selection for engine management is what these pushbuttons control. The CAD and MAN pushbuttons are tied to the VARTOMS Mode Selector in the cockpit, providing the crew with a way to choose how the engine management system operates—typically automatic versus manual control. When set to automatic, the system handles thrust and related parameters automatically; when set to manual, the crew can override automatic settings as needed. This function is specific to engine/propulsion control and is not about indicators or controls for oil pressure, fuel quantity, or cabin climate, which is why those other cockpit items aren’t associated with these pushbuttons.
