The ERASE switch is red. It will erase all four channels.

When the ALT‐NORM switch on the Audio Control Panel (ACP) is set to ALT:

The ACP at that station is inoperative and the crewmember cannot communicate on any radios.

The ACP at that station is still operative but in degraded mode.

The ACP switches to standby ACP and all functions operate normally except PA and interphone.

The ACP at that station is inoperative but the crewmember can communicate on one radio.

Correct! Wrong!

If the VOICE RECORDER Switch is selected to ON:

It powers the cockpit voice recorder from first engine start until 5 minutes after last engine shutdown.

It powers the cockpit voice recorder until first engine start, then trips the switch to AUTO.

It powers the cockpit voice recorder at all time.

It powers the cockpit voice recorder at all time for a maximum of 25h.

Correct! Wrong!

How are the communication systems controlled?

By the Mode Control Panel.

By their respective control modulators.

By the Audio Control Panel.

Correct! Wrong!

On the Audio Control panel (ACP) the Cabin call light comes ON. It will illuminate until:

Remains illuminated for 20 seconds.

Remains illuminated for 30 seconds.

Remains illuminated for 40 seconds.

Remains illuminated for 10 seconds.

When an HF transmitter is keyed after a frequency change, the antenna tunes. A steady or intermittent tone may be heard through the audio system. While tuning, the tone can last as long as 7 seconds. If the system fails to tune:

The tone will last more than 7 seconds, to a maximum of 30 seconds.

The tone will not be heard

The tone will last more than 7 seconds.

The tone will last more than 7 seconds, to a maximum of 15 seconds.

Correct! Wrong!

The antenna is located in the vertical stabilizer.

In the degraded mode of operation, are the ACP transmitter selectors functional?

Yes.

Cockpit Voice Recorder - When the TEST switch is pushed for _____:

2 seconds the green STATUS light flashes once and a tone may be heard through a headset plugged into HEADPHONE jack.

5 seconds the green STATUS light flashes once and a tone may be heard through a headset plugged into HEADPHONE jack.

2 seconds the red STATUS light flashes once and a tone may be heard through a headset plugged into HEADPHONE jack.

5 seconds the red STATUS light flashes once and a tone may be heard through a headset plugged into HEADPHONE jack.

Correct! Wrong!

The VHF–1 antenna is located on the lower fuselage and VHF–2 is on the upper fuselage.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The VHF–2 antenna is located on the lower fuselage and VHF–1 is on the upper fuselage.

With the Captain’s ACP operating in degraded mode, at that station:

All ACP transmitter selectors remain functional, but receiver selectors are lost.

The flight interphone remains useable, the PA is lost.

VHF‐2 is the only useable radio.

Altitude alert, GPWS and windshear audio warnings are not heard.

Correct! Wrong!

The pilots can transmit directly over the flight interphone by using the control wheel PTT switch. Alternately, any crewmember with an ACP can transmit/receive over the flight interphone by using their related ACP and normal PTT switches. Any standard microphone may be used with the flight interphone system.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

The Cockpit Voice Recorder in AUTO:

Always powers the CVR when DC bus 1 is powered.

Always powers the CVR from first engine start until 5 minutes after last engine shutdown.

Always powers the CVR when AC Transfer bus 1 is powered.

Always powers the CVR when DC bus 2 is powered

Correct! Wrong!

In case of degraded audio system operation:

Audio warnings for altitude alert are not heard.

Audio warnings for altitude alert and GPWS are not heard. Windshear alerts are not affected.
