which has been in use since 1978

A

ACARS

24
Q

ACARS

A

Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting Systems

25
Q

ACARS messages may be of three types based upon their content:

A

 Aeronautical Operational Control (AOC)
 Airline Administrative Control (AAC)

26
Q

 Records the conversation of pilots and ambiance sound on flight deck every 30 mins.

A

CVR

27
Q

records the last 2 hours of the flight crew conversations and communications and aural warnings. It records
automatically in flight and on ground when at least 1 engine is running and for 5 minutes after the last engine is shut
down.

A

SSCVR solid state cockpit voice recorder

28
Q

34
Q

allows the flight crew to communicate with flight attendant or
ground personnel.

A

interphone system

35
Q

The interphone communication system includes:

A

Flight interphone
Cabin Interphone
Service Interphone
Passenger service

36
Q

ACP There are____Audio Control Panels (ACPs) located next to an RMP. The ACPs control
the channel and volume of transmission /reception.

A

Two are located on the center pedestal, a third
one on the overhead panel. In case of a faulty CAPT or F/O ACP, the third occupant ACP can be
selected by a manual switch.

37
Q

function makes interphone links between pilots themselves and the ground
mechanic at the jack connection on the external power panel 108 VU.

A

flight interphone

38
Q

Is made of eight service interphone jacks located around the aircraft to facilitate
communications between personnel during maintenance operations

A

Service interphone

39
Q

On ground only, The Landing Gear Control and Interface Units (LGCIUs) send a ground signal to
the SVCE INTPH SYS, integrated in the CIDS directors

A

Automatic mode

40
Q

The SVCE INT OVRD pushbutton, on the maintenance panel, must be pressed. When the SVCE
INT OVRD pushbutton is pressed or when the aircraft is on jacks, a ground signal is sent to the CIDS
directors.

A

Manual mode

41
Q

Provides communication between Cabin Attendant and flight crew

A

Cabin Interphone

42
Q

If the Cockpit wants to communicate to the Flight Attendant.

A

On the ACP, Push
the ATT Button and On call panel, choose what station they want to call. On
Cabin, the Area call Panel illuminates Blue (Cockpit call)

43
Q

If the Flight Attendant wants to communicate the flight crew, On their handset,
push the cockpit pushbutton.

A

On ACP, the CAB pushbutton switch illuminates and
has aural warnings on Loudspeaker

44
Q

To establish the communication between cabin to cabin.

A

On the Handset, the
crew can call any of the cabin station areas: FWD, AFT and AFT R and ALL

45
Q

give the capability of tuning all communication radios. The
