A red CANOPY warning advisory light on the EICAS (Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System) display indicates that the canopy fracturing system is inoperative. This warning light is designed to alert the pilot to critical safety issues that need immediate attention. When the canopy fracturing system is not functioning properly, it compromises the ability to safely bail out if necessary, thus making it crucial for the pilot to be aware of this situation.

In general, the color coding used in EICAS displays follows a standard convention: red indicates an immediate and serious issue that requires prompt action, while other colors like blue, yellow, or green typically represent different levels of warnings or information, indicating either operational status or caution rather than an immediate threat to safety. The context provided by the light's color is essential for the pilot's awareness and reaction to the aircraft’s systems.
