COMMUNICATIONS LEVEL 2 (2)

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The use of the radio system on the Single Aisle aircraft is extremely
important for the safe operation of the aircraft. While taxiing and towing,
communication is necessary with the tower to safely move the aircraft.
Basic system description and procedures will enable the student to
understand system interconnect and correctly operate the systems by
selecting frequencies and setting transmission and reception modes. In
addition, the use of the Service Interphone communications will also be
explained.
The Panels and equipment that will be explained is as follows:
- Audio Control Panel (ACP),
- Radio Management Panel (RMP),
- Audio Management Unit (AMU),
- radio transceivers,
- acoustic equipment that includes: Boomsets, hand mikes, and handsets.

that were previously selected appear in the ACTIVE and STandBY
windows. To operate the transceiver, you might have to select a new
frequency on one of the VHF or HF transceivers. To do this, you must
select the Transceiver that you wish to transmit on. To select the radio,
the corresponding radio pushbutton must be pushed on the RMP. The
associated green LED will come on.
TRANSMISSION MODE
To connect one of the acoustical devices (microphone) to the
transmission line, the associated transmission key must be selected
on the Audio Control Panel (ACP).
When the transmission key is pressed (green light illuminated) you
are ready to transmit. This selection can be disabled when you select
another transceiver or when you press the illuminated pushbutton

again. Only ONE transmit key can be selected at a time.

RECEPTION MODE
In order to listen on the selected transceiver, you must operate the
Audio Control Panel (ACP). On the ACP, the reception knobs allows
connection of the headsets / acoustic equipment to the transceiver
reception via the Audio Management Unit. To select a transceiver,
the corresponding reception knob must be released out. The reception
knob comes on white. To adjust the reception volume level, the
selected reception knob must be turned. Communications can now be
established.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW (continued)
FLIGHT INTERPHONE SYSTEM OPERATION
Flight interphone selection is necessary for voice communications
between flight crew members and for ground handling, taxiing and
towing. This control is performed using the ACP. If the flight crew
needs to maintain contact and communicate with the mechanic, the
flight crew can push the MECHanic pushbutton on the CALLS panel
on the overhead.
The Flight Interphone can also act as a transceiver. Selection of the
INTerphone transmission key lights the green bars, indicating that the
flight interphone is ready to operate. Pressing and releasing the INT
reception knob illuminates the knob and enables adjustment of the
interphone audio level.
The INTerphone/RADio selector switch must be in the INT position.
The INT position enables permanent use of the flight interphone
without any further reaction and whatever radio key is selected. The
INT/RAD switch is a 3-position switch with INT being a stable
position.
The RAD selection connects the pre-selected channel to transmit. The
RAD position is a momentary contact, and is spring loaded to the
center position. This position acts like the selection of the hand
U5E07351 - U0Y35T0 - UM23BA000000001
microphone pushbutton or the Push To Talk trigger on the side-stick.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW - FLIGHT INTERPHONE SYSTEM OPERATION

SYSTEM OVERVIEW (continued)
SERVICE INTERPHONE SYSTEM OPERATION
The service interphone system is made up of eight service interphone
jacks located around the aircraft to facilitate communications between
maintenance personnel during troubleshooting, and between
maintenance and flight crew when performing coordinated tasks; i.e.
Manual start valve operation.
The audio lines from the cockpit, cabin and interphone jacks are routed
to the amplifiers through the amplifiers in the Cabin
Intercommunication and Data System (CIDS) Directors. The system
is integrated in the CIDS directors. There are 2 modes to connect the
jacks to the service interphone. The automatic mode on ground only
with the landing gear down and compressed OR the external power
contactor connected. The other mode is mentioned in the
MAINTENANCE TIPS section.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW - SERVICE INTERPHONE SYSTEM OPERATION

MAINTENANCE TIPS
When jacking the aircraft it might be necessary to communicate between
personnel at various points around the aircraft. Once the weight off
wheels, the service interphone system is disabled due to the logic of the
system. The Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit (LGCIU) on ground
discrete disables all service interphone connections.
The reason for this is to eliminate potential static noise generated and
amplified through the AMU due to the length of wires acting as antennae,
into the audio system.
To re-enable the service interphone, the SerViCE INTerphone OVeRriDe
P/BSW must be switched to 'ON'. The Service Interphone Override switch
is a guarded switch located on the Maintenance Panel 50VU on the
overhead in the cockpit.

FLIGHT INTERPHONE SYSTEM D/O (2)

INT SELECTION
The INT position of the INTerphone/RADio selector switch enables
permanent use of the flight interphone without any further action and
whatever the radio key selected (here VHF 1). This is a stable position.
NOTE: : The radio function has priority over the flight interphone
function. So, even with the INT/RAD switch in INT position,
the flight interphone is momentarily cut during a radio emission
(radio key selected and hand microphone or side-stick Push To
Talk (PTT) actuated).
RAD SELECTION
The RAD position of the INT/RAD selector switch puts the pre-selected
channel in emission (here VHF 1). This is an unstable position. This
position acts like the selection of the hand microphone pushbutton or like
the PTT pushbutton of the side-stick.
INT KEY AND KNOB

The flight interphone is selected like a VHF transceiver. Selection of the
INT transmission key lights the green bars, indicating that the flight
interphone is ready to operate. Pressing and releasing the INT reception
U5E07351 - U0Y35T0 - UM23D6000000001
knob adjusts the interphone level. If done, the knob comes on white.
Placing and holding the INT/RAD switch in RAD position lets the
operator talk through the flight interphone system.

knobs can be selected simultaneously. If the reception knob is pressed
FREQUENCY SELECTION in again, the receiver is disconnected and the white light goes off.
On the Radio Management Panel (RMP), when the ON/OFF switch is
set to ON position, two frequencies previously selected appear on the
windows. To select a new frequency in a different system, the related
key must be pressed in on the RMP. The associated green light comes
on. The desired frequency can be selected in the STand-BY/CouRSe
window using the dual selector knob. Pressing the transfer pushbutton,
activates the frequency and displays it in the active window, whereas the
previous active frequency becomes stand-by.
TRANSMISSION MODE
To connect the transmission line to the chosen transmitter, the
corresponding transmission key must be pressed in on the Audio Control
Panel (ACP). Only one transceiver can be selected at a time. This selection
can be disabled when:
- the transmission key, previously selected, is pressed in again,
- another transmitter is selected.
RECEPTION MODE
On the ACP, the reception knob makes the connection of the headset to
U5E07351 - U0Y35T0 - UM23D7000000001
the transceiver reception. To select a receiver, the related reception knob

must be released out. The reception knob comes on white. To adjust the
reception level, the selected reception knob must be turned. The
communication can now be established.
OPERATION
When the Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch is pressed in, the hand mike is
connected and the VHF1 transceiver transmits. The Boomset mike is
connected when the PTT is pressed in on the Side Stick or the RAD
transmission key is pressed in on the ACP. On the ACP, several reception

ACARS VHF 3 OPERATION (2)

ACARS NORMAL OPERATION
This sequence deals with the useof the Radio Management Panel (RMP)
when VHF 3 is selected. One window displays ACARS: the frequency
is then controlled by the Aircraft Communication Addressing and
Reporting System Management Unit (ACARS MU). The other window
shows a frequency value. When this value is in the ACTIVE window,
the VHF3 is in voice mode and its frequency is controlled by the RMP.
ACARS FAILURE
With the ACARS MU failed or selected OFF, the VHF 3 can only be
used with the Audio Management Unit (AMU) in normal audio
communication.
