What other visual indications are present when smoke is detected?

When smoke is detected in the C-17, the appropriate visual indications that are present include a SMOKE cue on the Warning, Advisory, and Preface System (WAP), along with the activation of the MASTER CAUTION light. The SMOKE cue provides a clear visual alert in the cockpit regarding the presence of smoke, essentially alerting the crew to a potentially critical situation that needs immediate attention and assessment.

The MASTER CAUTION light serves as a general alert for various system malfunctions or warnings, and its illumination alongside the SMOKE cue further emphasizes the severity of the situation. Together, these indicators help pilots quickly recognize and respond to smoke incidents, which is crucial for maintaining flight safety.
