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.
