11. Audio Selector Panels are installed at the Captain, First Officer, and Observer
stations. Each panel controls an independent crew station audio system and allows
the crewmember to select.

A. The desired radios,

B. Navigation aids,
C. Interphones, and PA systems.
D. All of the above

An ASP is installed at the Captain, First Officer, and Observer stations.

Each panel controls an independent crew station audio system and allows
the crewmember to select the desired radios, navigation aids, interphones,
and PA systems for monitoring and transmission.

12. Transmitter selectors on each Audio Select Panels select one radio or system
for transmission by any crewmember.

A. True
B. False

Transmitter selectors on each ASP select one radio or system for

transmission by that crewmember. Any microphone at that crew station
may then be keyed to transmit on the selected system.
13. Each crew station has a headset or headphone jack and a speaker on the
ceiling above their seats.

A. True
B. False

Each crew station has a headset or headphone jack. The Captain and First
Officer have speakers on the ceiling above their seats. There is no speaker
at the observer station.

14. Each Crews headset volume is controlled by the receiver switches. Speaker
volume is controlled by the speaker switch.

A. True
B. False

Headset volume is controlled by the receiver switches. Speaker volume is

controlled by the receiver switches and also the speaker switch.

15. Audio warnings for altitude alert, GPWS, and wind-shear are heard at preset
volumes through the speakers. They cannot be controlled or turned off by the crew.

A. True
B. False

Audio warnings for altitude alert, GPWS, and windshear are heard at preset
volumes. They cannot be controlled or turned off by the crew.

16. There are _____ ways to make a radio transmission.

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

17. Audio warnings for altitude alert, GPWS, and wind-shear are not heard on an
audio system operating in the degraded mode.

A. True
B. False

Audio warnings for altitude alert, GPWS, and windshear are not heard on an
audio system operating in the degraded mode.

18. The flight interphone system is an independent communication network. Its

primary purpose is to provide private communication between flight deck
crewmembers without intrusion from the service interphone system.
 A. True
B. False

The flight interphone system is an independent communication network. Its

primary purpose is to provide private communication between flight deck
crewmembers without intrusion from the service interphone system. The
ground crew may also the use flight interphone through a jack at the
external power receptacle.

19. The service interphone system provides intercommunication between the flight
deck, Flight Attendants, and ground personnel

A. True
B. False

The service interphone system provides intercommunication between the

flight deck, Flight Attendants, and ground personnel. Flight deck
crewmembers communicate using either a separate handset (if installed) or
their related ASP and any standard microphone.

20. Any Flight Attendant who picks up a handset/microphone is automatically

connected to the service interphone system.

A. True
B. False

The Flight Attendants communicate between flight attendant stations or with

the flight deck using any of the attendant handsets. Anyone who picks up a
handset/microphone is automatically connected to the system.

21. The passenger address (PA) system allows flight deck crewmembers and
flight attendants to make announcements to the passengers. Announcements are

A. True
B. False

The passenger address (PA) system allows flight deck crewmembers and
flight attendants to make announcements to the passengers.
Announcements are heard through speakers located in the cabin and in the
lavatories.

22. PA system use is prioritized. Chose the correct statement

A. Flight deck announcements have first priority and override all others.
B. Flight Attendant announcements override the music system& the pilots
 announcements.
C. The aft attendant has priority over the forward attendant.

PA system use is prioritized. Flight deck announcements have first priority and
override all others. Flight Attendant announcements override the music
system. The forward attendant has priority over the aft attendant.

23. A ground station desiring communication with the flight deck can use the
SELCAL system. SELCAL monitors selected frequencies on HF radios only.

A. True
B. False

A ground station desiring communication with the flight deck can use the
SELCAL system. SELCAL monitors selected frequencies on VHF and HF
radios. Each airplane is assigned a unique fourletter SELCAL
identification code. When the system receives an incoming call from a
ground station, a twotone chime sounds, and the related SELCAL light
illuminates.

24. Keying HF transmitter on the ground may cause oil and fuel quantity indicators
to fluctuate if:

A. Cargo or passenger entry door open

B. Service interphone microphone plugged into service interphone jack
C. Airplane grounding wire attached to airplane
D. All of the above

Keying HF transmitter on the ground may cause oil and fuel quantity indicators
to fluctuate if one or more of the following conditions exist:
Cargo or passenger entry door open
Service interphone microphone plugged into service interphone jack
Airplane grounding wire attached to airplane
Ground power cart connected.

25. The cockpit voice recorder uses four independent channels to save the last 30
minutes of flight deck audio. Two channels record the voices and the other two are
standby.

A. True
B. False

The cockpit voice recorder uses four independent channels to save the last
30 minutes of flight deck audio. Recordings older than 30 minutes are
automatically erased. One channel records flight deck area conversations
using the area microphone. The other channels record individual ASP
output (headset) audio and transmissions for the pilots and observer.
