investigating Master Warning and Master Caution not synced between seats?

[frostycab]

The front and back seat Master Warning pushbuttons both come on at the same time for both seats, however it seems that if I cancel the one in the back seat the corresponding PB in the front seat remains lit, and vice versa.  Same for Master Caution. Is this behaviour correct?

Track file attached showing an example.

+1 tired of hearing rotor rpm high or low when my pilot don't hear that.

When a Master Warning or Master Caution occurs, it indeed requires a pushbutton acknowledgement by both crewmembers to extinguish the light. However, if one seat pushes it, only the audio notification should be muted for both crewmembers, but the pushbutton in the other cockpit should remain lit until that crewmember pushes it to acknowledge it as well.

Cool. I expect it was done that way to ensure that both crew members would always be aware that the MW or MC had been triggered, even if one person had noticed and cancelled it while the other was busy.

Correct. A lot of "behavior" in the AH-64D avionics was designed around the human factors aspect of crew coordination.
