Final answer:

Secondary Failures appear in the lower screen of the ECAM, specifically on the E/WD, after addressing more critical primary failures and can be found under the 'STATUS' page for the pilots to manage for safe aircraft operation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Secondary Failures appear on the ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor) in the lower screen, often referred to as the E/WD (Engine/Warning Display), when you are operating an aircraft from the Airbus A320 family. When a failure occurs, the ECAM system automatically displays the failure on the E/WD along with the necessary procedures to manage the situation. The ECAM manages and prioritizes failures to present the most critical information to the crew promptly.

Typically, the Secondary Failures are less critical or consequential than primary failures and are listed after action items for primary failures have been addressed, under the 'STATUS' page. It's important for pilots to regularly monitor the ECAM to ensure they are aware of and can address any issues as they arise for safe aircraft operation.
