Flight Interphone System
The flight interphone system lets the crew members in the flight compartment communicate with each other. It also connects with the audio communication system and the ground crew members. There are three independent systems, one for each flight crew station and the observer station. The captain system is shown on the graphic. The flight crew selects a system on the audio control panel (ACP) to transmit or receive audio. These are the systems that the pilot can select: Communication radios Navigation receivers Cabin interphone Passenger address Flight and service interphone

When the pilot selects a system on the ACP, the remote electronics unit (REU) sends audio from the hand microphones, boom microphones or oxygen mask microphones to that system. The REU also sends the audio from the system to the headsets and speakers.

Aural Warning System


The aural warning system tells the flight crew of incorrect airplane system conditions with aural indications. The system also provides the aural indication for SELCAL and crew calls. The aural warning module monitors several airplane systems. The airplane systems send a signal to the aural warning module if they detect an unsafe condition. The aural warning module supplies these aural indications: Bell for a fire Intermittent horn for a unsafe takeoff configuration or cabin altitude too high Steady horn for unsafe landing configuration Clacker for overspeed Wailer for autopilot disconnect Chimes for crew call and SELCAL
