What are the two stations called on the Full Authority Digital Control/Local Control Panel (FADC/LOCOP)?

• A. Start station and control station
• B. Operating station and engineering station
• C. Local station and remote station
• D. Maintenance station and data station

Answer: (B)

The system uses two stations: the operating station and the engineering station. The operating station is the interface used for normal engine operation—monitoring essential parameters, starting and stopping, selecting control modes, and responding to alerts. The engineering station is a diagnostics and configuration interface used by maintenance personnel to analyze faults, access detailed data, adjust parameters within approved limits, calibrate, and perform software updates. This separation keeps routine operation safe and responsive while giving authorized techs the tools they need for troubleshooting and optimization.
