# Vehicle status indicator

![High Level Status Indicator](https://3329189600-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFW1Ge1p1f6WHyiYCb146%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-64da5bc951dda5ff916af6c6ad244bb356f6dddc%2FScreenshot%202023-10-04%20at%2013.51.31.png?alt=media)

The *high level status indicator* in the top left of the application bar provides immediate and highly visible color-coded notification of vehicle readiness to fly and in-air flight state.

The indicator also displays the current vehicle being controlled and text describing the status/problem. For VTOL vehicles (only) this may also display the mode: *Fixed-wing*/*Multirotor*.

{% hint style="info" %}
If there are multiple vehicles it can be used to select between them.
{% endhint %}

The indicator states are listed below.
