If a GEN OIL caution message appears on the WAP, what is the corrective action?

When a GEN OIL caution message appears on the Warning and Advisory Panel (WAP), it indicates a potential issue with the oil supply to the generator, which can lead to overheating or failure of the generator. The appropriate corrective action in this scenario is to turn the generator off.

Shutting down the generator prevents further damage by stopping its operation in a potentially compromised state. This action also allows for an assessment of the situation and helps ensure the safety and integrity of the aircraft systems. Once the generator is turned off, procedures can then be followed to investigate the cause of the warning and determine the next steps for safe operation, whether it involves troubleshooting or switching to backup power if available.

This approach mitigates risks associated with continuing to operate with a caution message indicating an issue that could escalate if not addressed promptly.
