FMA Fault Annunciations
Autopilot or autothrottle faults are annunciated by a box around the affected

autothrottle disconnects. This box is red and flashes until canceled by pushing the
autopilot or autothrottle disconnect switch.
When the autopilot or autothrottle is not engaged, the box and label are white if
available and amber if not available. For normal autopilot operation, AP1 is shown
when FCC1 autopilot is in control, AP2 when FCC2 autopilot is in control, or AP
when both autopilots are engaged for DUAL LAND operations.
