Which symbol on the MFD indicates an RA?

In an MFD, urgency and actionability guide how symbols are shown. A Resolution Advisory (RA) is the highest-priority alert from the traffic awareness system, meaning it demands immediate pilot response to avoid a collision. To stand out and be unmistakable even in high-workload moments, the RA is depicted as a solid red square. The red color and solid shape signal “act now,” so you can recognize it at a glance and take the recommended maneuver. Other symbols are used for different statuses or information and don’t carry the same urgency. A hollow circle, a flashing green diamond, or a blue triangle may indicate other traffic types, advisories, or navigational information, but none of them signals the immediate, required action that an RA does.
