The EICAS provides what type of information regarding fuel?

The correct answer focuses on the EICAS (Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System) functionality specifically in terms of monitoring fuel. The EICAS is a vital system in aircraft that provides real-time information to the pilots about various engine parameters and critical systems, including fuel management.

In particular, the EICAS displays current fuel flow, which informs the pilots about how much fuel is being consumed by the engines at any moment, as well as fuel quantity indicators that show the amount of fuel available in the fuel tanks. This information is essential for flight planning and ensuring the aircraft has sufficient fuel for its journey, as well as for understanding the efficiency of the engines during flight.

The other options relate to different aircraft systems or components not directly linked to the EICAS’s fuel monitoring capability. Ignition timing, altitude, airspeed, engine temperature, and pressure are all important parameters but are covered by other systems or gauges, not primarily by the EICAS in the context of fuel management.
