Final answer:

The FD can be engaged from standby mode by deselecting all active modes or using the RMT SBY switch on the Mode Control Panel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is related to avionics, specifically the function of flight director (FD) in standby mode. Standby mode indicates that the FD is not currently active but can be made available for use. To engage the FD from standby mode, all currently engaged FD modes should be deselected, or the RMT SBY (remote standby) switch can be pressed. The RMT SBY switch is located on the corresponding Mode Control Panel (MCP) or autopilot panel in the aircraft's cockpit.
