Cabin System Q’s Flashcards
A leaky line antenna for an inflight system
Sends and receives signal for PED
A cabin network service enables
Pax to access internet and email services via a WLAN
Leaky line antenna exhibits a highly directional field with a
Highly concentrated radiation distribution within then cabin
Conference call on on the cabin interphone may
Be interrupted by the captain or purser
Pax database maybe hosted on the
Cabin network service
A pax ife system would be expected to incorporate
Pa intercom connection
Access to pre departure/departure reports maybe made by cabin crew via the
Cabin network service
In event of cabin decompression
Ife automatically switches to standby mode
Aircraft ife systems where all users selectable content is stored in the seat is known as
Seat centric
LCD backlighting on a personal television changes
With the level of cabin lighting
A electronic library system is a
General purpose computing platform intended to reduce or replace paper based reference material used by the flight crew
Leaky line attenuation over the length of the cabin can be significant and affect signal strength how is attenuation prevented over the cable length
Shielding screens are placed in the gaps between slots
An emergency crew and alerting system is used
Either by the cockpit to alert the cabin crew of a cockpit incident or by the cabin crew to alert the pilot of a cabin incident
An IFE tapping unit
Decodes video signals for the LCD monitors
An IFE centre is most likely installed
In the avionics bay
An inflight mobile phone system
Uses satcom to send signal to ground base
And interface between cockpit/cabin crew and cabin systems is performed via a data exchange or different related LRUs and is magaed by
Cabin intercommunication data system cIDS
Cabin core lighting system has a complete failure
Lights go to default brightness
Cabin surveillance video is displayed
Both in the cockpit and also in the cabin on designated FAPs
CIDs audio includes
Passenger address and cabin interphone
Data/radio communications within the cabin typically interface with the
Cabin network service
Dial and call information from the PA and interphone is displayed to the cabin attendants on the
Attendant indication panels
Electric window shades on the cabin can be controlled
From the FAPs
Flight attendants communicate with the directors of the cabin intercommunication data system using
FAPs within the cabin
If a cabin config is changed or an additional cabin service is added to the cabin systems
Only the cabin intercommunication data systems software needs to be updated
If a CIDs director fails what would be affected
Nothing
