AUDIO SELECTOR PANEL
Purpose
The audio selector panel permits the flight crew to select an audio system for
transmission or reception.
Features
The microphone select switches connect the microphone to a radio transceiver,

the flight or service interphone system, or the passenger address system.
These switches are push-on/push-off, and are mechanically interlocked so that
only one can be selected at a time. The switch which is depressed illuminates
white if the panel lighting is on.
The listen switches select the source and control the volume of audio connected
to a cockpit speaker and headset. They are push-on/push-off switches which
are rotated clockwise for maximum volume.
The "BOOM/OXY" toggle switch selects the microphone input as either the
oxygen mask microphone or the boom headset microphone.
The "FLT/cabin" toggle switch selects either flight interphone or cabin

interphone to be used in conjunction with the "INT" microphone switch and its
associated listen switch and volume control.
The "voice/both/range" toggle switch selects portions of a filter which attenuates

either the range audio or the voice audio of radio navigation signals (ADF, VOR,
DME or ILS). In the "both" position, the filter is bypassed.
The "PTT" switch (push-to-talk) keys the selected system when the boom or
oxygen mask microphones are used.

FLIGHT INTERPHONE SYSTEM
General
The Flight Interphone System provides communications between flight crew

members, communications between the flight crew and ground crew, and an
interface with the voice recorder, cabin and service interphone system,
communication transceivers, navigation receivers, and the passenger address
system.
The flight interphone system consist of amplifiers and mixing circuits in the
audio accessory unit, audio selector panels, interphone speakers, mic/
headphone jacks, and push to talk (PTT) switches.
System Description
During flight, a flight crew member may establish communications by using

microphones and/or listening devices, in the following manner:
• With a ground control/navigation station or another airplane through the

audio selector panel and a selected radio system.
• With other flight crew members, through the audio accessory unit and
audio selector panels.
• Monitoring navigation systems through the audio accessory unit and audio
selector panel.
On the ground, the Flight Interphone System may be used for communications
between the flight crew and the ground service personnel at the nose landing
gear through the APU remote control panel.
The Flight Interphone System also interfaces with the voice recorder to provide
voice inputs from the captain, first officer and first observer through the audio
selector panel.

Purpose
The tape reproducer provides entertainment music to the PES.
Characteristics
The tape reproducer consists of six identical tape transports which are
controlled by a microprocessor. Three pairs of tapes (for a total of 6 cassettes)
are loaded in the tape reproducer. These are 4-track tapes and are played in
one direction only.
One tape of each pair contains the first half of four mono (or two stereo)
programs, and the other tape contains the second half. The tape reproducer
provides a total of 12 audio output channels. These output channels are
continuous since the tape reproducer plays the first and then the second tape of
each pair alternately without any interruption between them. The tape
reproducer itself has no external controls, and its operation is controlled from a
remote location.
The cassette tape loading positions on the tape reproducer are identified 1A
and 1B, 2A and 2B, and 3A and 3B. Positions 1A and 1B are for the tape pair
containing channels 1-4; 2A and 2B for channels 5-8; 3A and 3B for channels
9-12. If the tapes are loaded incorrectly the start and stop signals cannot be
detected and the audio will be reproduced in a reverse direction.
Boarding Music Output (Optional)
Boarding Music is DEACTIVATED on Deltas 767 at this Time.
Four of the tape tracks (9-12) may also be output as boarding music. Selecting
boarding music is done by a remote control on the P21 forward attendant's
panel. Boarding music volume level is also remotely adjusted.

sent back out of the forward zone multiplexer to the mid zone multiplexer, and
then back out of the mid zone multiplexer to the aft zone multiplexer.
Part of the audio to the main multiplexer may be in stereo form. In this case,
one monophonic track from the tape reproducer will be programmed as the left
channel of a stereo pair, while another normally monophonic track will be
programmed as the right channel. Switches within the main multiplexer provide
this programming flexibility.
Zone Multiplexers
Ten channels (tracks) of digitized audio from the main multiplexer are
processed with other audio inputs in the forward, mid and aft zone multiplexers.
They are multiplexed with the remaining tape reproducer tracks and two audio
inputs from the video system control unit. PA audio, when present, replaces all
other input audio.
A 50 ohm termination plug on the aft zone multiplexer terminates the

multiplexer-to-multiplexer audio lines.
Seat Electronics Box
Fourteen channels of audio are sent from the forward, mid, and aft zone
multiplexers to three columns of seat electronics boxes. Here the channels of
digitized audio are converted back to analog form. The audio is then amplified
and sent to the audio transducer and headset jack in the passenger control unit
(PCU) as selected by the channel select switch.

STUDENT NOTES:
PSS BLOCK DIAGRAM Operation
Each CTD acts as the interface unit between corresponding columns of PSUDs
General and SEBs. A termination plug is connected to the last PSUD and SEB in each
column.
The passenger service system is made up of three zones; forward, mid, and aft.
Each zone has a column timer decoder (CTD), passenger service unit decoders Each PSUD controls reading lights (one per passenger seat) and an attendant
(PSUD), seat electronics boxes (SEB), passenger control units (PCU), master call (row call) light (one per seat group). Each SEB receives inputs from one,
call lights, and electronic chime units. There is one attendant panel, with a test two, or three PCUs. The center columns may have one, two, or three PCUs,

PES / PSS POWER DISTRIBUTION
AC Power
The 115 volt ac left bus provides power for the entertainment tape reproducer,
the main multiplexer, three zone multiplexers, and the right and left column
passenger service unit decoders in the forward and mid zones.
The 115 volt ac left utility bus provides power for the right and left column
passenger service unit decoders in the aft zone.
The 115 volt ac right bus powers the column timer decoders which, in turn,
supply 35 volts ac to the seat electronic box.
The 115 volt ac ground service bus provides power to the center passenger
service unit decoders in all three zones.
DC Power
The 28 volt left dc bus provides the power to activate the relays associated with
PES/PSS, provides dc power to the column timer decoders, and powers the
zone driver.
Power Control
The PASS SERV SYS PWR switch/light on the forward attendant's panel is
used to control the forward and aft PSS power relays. This switch/light
illuminates white when actuated to the on position. The power relays distribute
115 volts ac to the CTDs, PSUDs, and SEBs.
The PASS ENT PWR switch/light on the forward attendant's panel also
illuminates white in the on position. The PES power relay is energized and the
zone driver is also powered. This causes 115 volts ac to be applied to the
entertainment tape reproducer; the main multiplexer; and the forward, mid, and
aft zone multiplexers.

PES / PSS SELF-TEST ATTENDANT PANEL
General
Self-tests are initiated by the PASSENGER ENTERTAINMENT AND SERVICE

SYSTEM switch on the forward attendant's panel. This switch has a NORMAL
position and seven test positions. The MASTER TEST position tests both the
PES and PSS. The next five positions test the PSS only. LAMP TEST checks
all attendant row call lights, reading lights and master call lights. The next four
positions check the PSUD or SEB clock data loops. The inner call-outs (FWD,
AFT, FWD, AFT) indicate the direction data (DATA DIR) is sent down the loops.
The outer call-outs (ON, OFF, ON, OFF) indicate the normal condition of the
attendant row call lights (CALL LTS) if the tests pass. The first two positions
check the PSUD loops (OVHD) while the next two positions check the SEB
loops (SEATS). The last position of the test switch, ENT TEST, checks the PES
only.
The FWD CALL RESET and AFT CALL RESET lights will illuminate at the end
of each test to indicate a satisfactory test. Failure of one or both of the lights to
illuminate indicates a failed test. They are both press-to-test lights. The chime
will sound to indicate the completion of the first two tests. If the MASTER TEST
fails, then the other tests must be performed in sequence.
Test Preparation
Verify that all PES and PSS circuit breakers are closed.
On the forward attendant panel, press the PASS ENT SYS PWR and the PASS
SRV SYS PWR switches to the on (illuminated) position.
Set the READING switch and the PASSENGER ENTERTAINMENT AND

SERVICE SYSTEM switch to NORMAL.
Press the FWD CALL RESET and AFT CALL RESET switch/lights to test the
lights.

The ground closes S2, routing the +30 volts dc to the 600 Hz generator and ring

held in. As the +30 volts are applied to the ring counter circuit, individual circuit
characteristics will cause one of the counter's output lines to conduct first, which
turns on one of the solid-state switches (S4 through S7). This will be the first
channel to test. After that channel's test is complete, the ring counter will
successively test the remaining channels. The test switch must be held in long
enough for all four channels to test. The result is all channels are tested, in
sequence, with no particular channel being tested first.

VERY HIGH FREQUENCY (VHF)

VERY HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS
Purpose
The purposes of the system are to provide short range, omnidirectional air-to-air
and air-ground voice communications, and air-ground data communications
when used with ACARS. The primary use is for air traffic control with some
alternate uses such as company operational communications.
System Description
The system operates in the VHF aeronautical communications band (118 to 136
MHz) using keying and microphone inputs from the flight interphone system and
providing audio outputs to the interphone and SELCAL.
When used with ACARS, the VHF communication system provides the
transmission medium, receiving data and keying from ACARS for downlink and
providing received uplink data to ACARS. The effective range is extended by
the use of ground repeater networks. BITE provides self-test and monitoring for
the transceiver.
VERY HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS
23-20-A25209M
R
VERY HIGH FREQUENCY

SYSTEM - BLOCK DIAGRAM The detected audio is routed from the detector output (before the squelch) to
the SELCAL system (from all systems) and to the ACARS system (from the
center system). SELCAL signals activate the SELCAL (alert) lamps on the pilot
Power call panel and sound the chime.
The left transceiver and control panel get 28v dc from the 28v dc standby bus.
The right transceiver and control panel get 28v dc from the right bus. The
center transceiver receives 28v dc from the left bus.
Control
Frequency selection is made from the control panels for all three systems using
digital data on an ARINC 429 data bus to the transceiver. When ACARS is
installed, the center system is tuned by the ACARS management unit over an
ARINC 429 bus when operating in the data mode.
Transceiver keying for all three systems is by the flight interphone system PTT
line. Also, the center system is keyed by ACARS when operating in the data
mode.
The center system also receives a voice/data mode select discrete and a
frequency data port select discrete from ACARS.
Signal Flow
For transmission, the transceivers generate the carrier, amplitude modulate it

with audio from the flight interphone system and transmit it out over the
antenna. The center system also receives modulation audio as a data tone
from ACARS when operating in data mode. System keying is recorded by the
flight data recorder, provides resets to the SELCAL decoder, and is sent to the
FMC for use by software options.
When receiving, the receiver amplifies the input RF signal, converts it to a lower
frequency and detects the audio modulation. If the signal is strong enough, the
squelch opens and the audio is routed out to the flight interphone system.

SELF-TESTS Operational Checkout
A test transmission can also be made from the flight compartment or from the
Squelch/Lamp Test transceiver front panel if another station is within range and available for test
purposes.
Pressing the SQL/LAMP TEST switch breaks the receiver squelch (enabling the
operator to hear receiver background noise) and illuminates the CONTROL
INPUT FAIL and LRU PASS LEDs as long as the switch is held pressed.
LRU Test
Momentarily pressing the TEST switch causes the microprocessor to conduct a

transmitter and receiver end-to-end test, consisting of a 100 msec transmission
on a test frequency, modulated at 2 KHz. Forward and reflected power is
monitored and VSWR computed and displayed (VSWR value is normally less
than 3.0). The transmitted RF is attenuated and injected into the receiver which
is tuned to the test frequency by a special local oscillator. If the transmit
frequency is correct, modulation adequate, and the receiver is operating
properly, the audio is heard at the receiver output. If all monitored parameters
indicate proper operation of the transceiver, the LRU PASS indicator illuminates
for approximately one second. Frequency selection data on the active port is
also monitored. Improper data words will result in the CONTROL INPUT FAIL
indicator illuminating for about one second. If the TEST switch is held in, the
test is repeated until the switch is released.
Forward and Reflected Power Measurements
Forward and reflected power can be measured by turning the RFL-OFF-FWD

switch momentarily to the desired position. The 100 msec test transmission is
executed and the selected parameter is measured and displayed on the
segmented display on the front panel. Forward power should be 30 watts
normally, 25 watts minimum, and reflected power should be no greater than
11% of the forward power value.

SELECTIVE CALLING (SELCAL)
Purpose
The purpose of the SELCAL system is to tell the flight crew when a ground
station wants to contact them on a radio. The system helps reduce pilot
workload and distractions by making continuous monitoring of a radio
unnecessary.
Operation
The ground station calls a certain airplane by transmitting, on a assigned

frequency, an amplitude-modulated set of four audio tones that agree with the
airplane's assigned SELCAL code. The airplane's radio transceiver (VHF or
HF) tuned to the assigned frequency will receive and demodulate the SELCAL
signal. The demodulated signal is sent to the SELCAL decoder which only
reacts to its assigned tone combination. When the assigned code is
recognized, the decoder sounds the warning electronics unit chime and
illuminates the pilot's call panel lamp associated with the radio receiving the
signals. The decoder and pilot's call panel lamp are manually reset. The flight
crew then selects the indicated radio to contact the ground station.
A ground station is able to call a particular aircraft by transmitting a set of four

tones over "Delta Radio". The SELCAL decoder receives the audio from the
comm radio which is tuned to "Delta Radio" and compares the tones to the
assigned code. When the tones and codes are the same, a chime sounds and a
call light illuminates on the pilot's call panel. The decoder reset comes from the
pilot call panels or microphones. The reset is initiated either from the alert lamp/
switch, from the flight interphone PTT, or from the key event contacts, for the
associated transceiver.
The system consists of a SELCAL decoder, a coding receptacle, HF, and VHF
pilot call switches.

HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS
General
The system is used for long range air-to-ground and air-to-air voice
communications in the high frequency band, primarily for air traffic control.
The system uses direct (ground) wave for short distances, but relies on
refraction in an ionized layer and the earth's surface to achieve long range "sky
wave" transmission by single or multiple "bounces". Sky wave propagation
distances are dependent on:
• Frequency: controls possible refraction angles

• Time of day: varies height of effective ionized layer
• Aircraft altitude: controls atmospheric and ground interactions
Areas between ground bounces are "skips" in the communication coverage.

Therefore, successful operation may depend upon correct frequency selection
for the time of day.

TYPICAL SYSTEM
General
A typical HF communications system consists of a control panel, a transceiver,

an antenna coupler and an antenna.
Functional Interfaces
Power on-off, frequency, mode selection, and RF sensitivity are controlled from
the control panel. The system receives microphone audio and key signals from
the interphone system.
The transceiver generates the RF signal to be transmitted or demodulates the

received RF signals.
The coupler automatically matches the antenna to the transceiver. Received

audio (SSB or AM) is routed to the interphone system. Unsquelched AM audio
is routed to the SELCAL system. Keying for transmission is recorded by the
flight data recorder, sent to the FMC for crew alertness monitoring, and used to
reset the selcal system.
The H/F SATCOM Control Select Panel provides L and R HF microphone and
audio selections to be used by either the HF system or SATCOM system. The
HF/SATCOM relay is where the PTT, MIC, and Audio are switched.

General
The left and right HF antenna couplers are located in the HF coupler bay of the
vertical stabilizer. The HF couplers are rack-mounted, pressurized units
weighing 17 lbs. Each. Each coupler is pressurized with dry air at 5-7 psig.
The coupler consists of RF tuning elements and control circuits which comprise
a closed tuning loop. The coupler is tunable over the frequency range from 2 to
30 MHz. Typical tuning time required is 2 to 7 seconds. The coupler constantly
monitors the RF transmissions to automatically adjust the tuning elements. In
dual HF installations, the couplers are electrically interlocked so that only one
HF system transmits at a time. Faults within the antenna coupler cause the key
interlock light on the HF transceiver to come on.
Access to the coupler is via the left side of the vertical stabilizer.
HF Antenna
The single HF antenna functions as the transmit and receive antennas for both
HF systems and is located along the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer.

Major Sequence In REC/STBY mode, the system is ready to be keyed for tuning at any time.
The graphic illustrates the various modes of operation and how cycling can take
place between them. Transceiver and coupler tuning is initiated by changing TUNE

through various modes. Coupler tuning is initiated by keying the transmitter. The key line is latched in,

satisfactory VSWR is measured. At that time the OPERATE mode has been
reached. The HF system is then ready for transmission.
TUNE A (Resonance)
Rechanneling is normally complete in 2 to 7 seconds. If the final operate mode
is not reached in 15 seconds, a fault results and the transmitter is disabled. The coupler's discriminator responds to phase differences between the RF
voltage and current. Tuning elements are positioned for zero phase difference
(load resistive and resonant).
Normal Sequence
OFF: No system functions or indications available.
HOMING: the homing mode is initiated when transceiver power is turned on or

whenever a new frequency is selected. While in this mode, the antenna tuning
elements are driven to the HOME position regardless of selected frequency.
Keying is disabled while the coupler is in the homing mode.
REC/STBY
The system automatically cycles to the receive/standby mode as soon as the

tuning elements reach their HOME position. The system is then capable of
reception on the selected frequency.
HIGH FREQUENCY
HF SYSTEMS - FUNCTIONAL MODES (CONT.) Control Input Fail
The red CONTROL INPUT FAIL light illuminates if the digital data from the
TUNE B (Load Tuning) control panel does not contain the HF label, has insufficient repetition rate, or
has invalid format contents.
During TUNE B mode, the tuning elements are adjusted to present a total
impedance which is approximately 50 ohms, and resonance. The 1 kHz
tune-in-progress tone is still present.
TUNE C (VSWR)
During TUNE C mode the tuning elements are further adjusted so that RF
power loading generates a VSWR 1.3:1. The 1 kHz tone is still present.
OPERATE
The coupler transitions to the OPERATE mode after completion of TUNE C.

The key latch is broken, tuning RF power goes off and the tune-in-progress 1
kHz tone ceases. The system is now capable of reception or transmission.
During full power modulated transmission, the coupler maintains the VSWR
1.3:1 by adjustment of the tuning elements. No audio tone is heard while tuning
occurs during transmission.
Key Interlock Fault
The red KEY INTERLOCK light illuminates if: the tuning elements fail to reach
home position within 15 seconds; the coupler fails to reach the required VSWR
within 15 seconds; or arcing in the coupler is detected. This fault-light indicates
a coupler fault only while the transceiver is keyed.

The red LRU FAIL light illuminates when: there is insufficient RF power out from

reasons such as GES overload, invalid message, unauthorized access, etc, the
GES responds with a log-on reject signal. By returning a log-on confirm signal
with a different AES class value, the GES may be able to offer log-on in a
different AES class than originally requested. The AES can either accept log-on
in the offered class by continuing the log-on signaling procedure relevant for
that class, or reject log-on by discontinuing the log-on signaling procedure.

connected, the "TEL" light portion of the SATCOM MIC selector switch
illuminates steady indicating that the satellite channel is ready. Volume is
adjusted the same as any other receiver. There is no need to release the PTT
switch on the microphone in order to monitor reception. SATCOM is a full
duplex system. During a conversation the pilot can select another radio on the
ACP, placing the SATCOM call "on hold". This is indicated by the "TEL" portion
of the MIC selector switch flashing. Re-selecting the SATCOM MIC selector
switch will remove the call from "hold" status. Either party going "on-hook"
terminates a call. The pilot goes on-hook by selecting this on the MCDU. The
ground party terminates a call by hanging up the phone, which causes the AES
to go on-hook. Incoming calls to the flight deck trigger the SELCAL chime and
also cause the "TEL" portion of the MIC selector switch on the ACP to flash.
The pilot presses this switch to place the AES off-hook and begin the call. The
pilot can also display the telephone number and the call priority of the ground
party on the MCDU display.

Failure Overview
The table below is an overview of the BITE provided by the Satellite Data Unit
(SDU), Radio Frequency Unit (RFU) and High Power Amplifier (HPA) to detect
and isolate external and internal failure conditions. Each failure is uniquely
identified with a combination of a Level 1 (LRU, buss, or signal) code, SRU
code, and failure code. The codes are defined as follows:
• LRU CODE - A 2 digit hexadecimal number which defines the LRU, data
communication buss, or miscellaneous interface signal where the failure,
buss inactivity, or signal error has been determined to have occurred. (A
buss is considered to be inactive when none of the expected data at all has
been received for a period of time).
• MONITOR - The type of BIT monitoring which performs a test capable of
detecting the listed failure, POST, PAST, Continuous Monitoring (CM), or
other tests such as at software download time.
• TESTER - The SRU hosting the processor which performs the BIT. The
Tester SRU may be in a different LRU from the one where the failure has
been determined to have occurred - e.g., the SDU SMPM performs the BIT
which indicts the IRS when particular aircraft attitude or position words are
not being adequately received from the IRS by the SMPM (but the buss
itself is not active).
• CLASS - The classification of the failure:
• Class 1 failures are indicated to the crew in flight by the CFDS because
they have operational consequences.
• Class 2 failures are not automatically indicated to the crew in flight by the
because they have no operational consequences for the current or the next
flight(s), but are indicated to the crew on the ground because they cannot
be left uncorrected until the next ground scheduled maintenance check.
• Class 3 failures are not indicated to the flight crew by the CFDS because
they can be left uncorrected until a routine scheduled maintenance check.
An accumulation of Class 3 failures may lead to a Class 2 or Class 1
failure.
• INT/EXT - Indicates whether the failure is internal to the SATCOM
subsystem or external to the SATCOM subsystem (e.g. update rate failure
or IRS data to the SDU).

AIRCRAFT COMMUNICATIONS ADDRESSING AND REPORT-

ING SYSTEM (ACARS) If a messages is not acknowledged because of lack of radio coverage, the system
ACARS (DATA LINK) will automatically repeat the message for a maximum of six times until acknowl-
edged by the ground.
Purpose
The Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is an

addressable digital Data Link system. ACARS permits the exchange of data and
messages between an aircraft and a ground-based operations center over a radio
network.
System Description
ACARS relieves the flight crew of sending many of the routine voice radio mes-
sages by transmitting pre-formatted messages at specific times during the flight.
These messages may include the following: time the airplane left the gate, lift off
time, touchdown time, and time of arrival at the gate. These ACARS functions are
known as the OUT OFF ON IN or OOOI times. In addition, ACARS can collect
data from the various airplane systems and send the information to the ground.
The accurate reporting of event times, engine information, crew identification, and
passenger requirements provides for a close monitoring of any particular flight.
Airplane system data, such as engine performance reports, can be sent to the
ground on a pre-programmed schedule, or manually by the flight crew. Personnel
on the ground may request data at any time during the flight. Specific ACARS
functions are accomplished in accordance with an airline's specific ACARS soft-
ware program.
The ACARS system can be used for verbal communications through selection of
the voice mode.
Down link messages from the airplane are transmitted in digital form to ground
stations along most routes. The data is relayed to a central computer which is
connected via land lines to the company communications control center.

• To indicate whether the ACARS is in ACARS-directed mode selection or

manually-forced Voice Mode.
The ACARS/VOICE Switch
The ACARS/VOICE switch light is a momentary switch with two lights. When
the ACARS is in normal operation, the ACARS light is on. (This is including
when an ACARS-directed voice mode is entered.) Frequency control for the
VHF radio is through the ACARS system whether it is in voice or data modes.
Pressing the ACARS/VOICE switch turns on the VOICE light and disconnects
the VHF transceiver from ACARS control. The VHF operates in its normal way
with frequency control by the corresponding VHF control panel. Pressing the
switch again returns the VHF transceiver to ACARS control.

gated clock signal. This data is presented to an ARINC 429 interface, which
then supplies it to the microprocessor. The microprocessor performs all
functions in conjunction with RAM, EEPROM, and EPROM memory circuits,
ACARS Shorting Receptacle - PIN PROGRAMMING
and the touch panel control and display control circuits. An LED display matrix
provides the screen display.
Airplane identification to the management unit is accomplished through a
shorting receptacle into the ACARS management unit plug connector.
Interactive Display Unit - Outgoing Data
Each airplane is uniquely identified by the series of opens (1) and grounds (0)
configured on the shorting receptacle.
Outgoing data is in serial format on an ARINC 429 bus, and is supplied to the
IDU interface in the management unit.
TABLE 1 shows the configuration for this airplane.
Printer - Power
The printer (when installed) receives 115 volts ac from the left bus through a
circuit breaker on the P11 circuit breaker on the P11 circuit breaker panel. This
is converted to dc voltages for internal uses.

STUDENT NOTES:
ING SYSTEM For the purpose of defining OOOI state transitions, the OOOI inputs are
defined as:
ACARS - OUT, OFF, ON IN, (OOOI) EVENTS
• Brake on - parking brake set.
• Brake off - parking brake released.
General • Doors open - any door open.
• Doors closed: all doors closed - Strut ext - (strut extended) strut switch
The ACARS Management Unit (MU) will process and format the information it indicates an airborne condition.
receives based on specific airplane conditions. OOOI inputs are responsible for • Strut comp - (strut compressed)
defining the various conditions. • strut switch indicates an on-ground condition.
The OOOI logic is responsible for interpretation of the OOOI inputs, and the
triggering of automatic events based on the captured times. These events IN State
include automatic downlinks as well as prompts to the pilot for manual data
input. The IN time is captured in one of two ways:
• Brake on followed by doors open.

Sensors • The IN time is the last brake set time.
• Doors open followed by brake on.
OOOI sensor data is input in digital format from EICAS. • The IN time is the brake on time.
• The EICAS inputs provide the following conditions: The IN report is sent immediately after the IN event unless the IN report data is
• Air or ground condition incomplete. If the IN report data is incomplete, the IN REPORT advisory is
• All doors closed or any doors opened condition triggered. If the IN report data has not been completed within two minutes, the
• Parking brake set or released condition IN report is sent with default values in the applicable IN report data fields and
the IN REPORT advisory is cleared.
States If the preceding OOOI state was OUT (indicating a return-to-gate), the
departure station is substituted for the destination station in the IN report.
There are four OOOI states defined for the system, which are:
After the data in the IN REPORT page has been transferred to the IN report

Departure Ground Delay
If an OFF or IN event has not occurred within 15 minutes of an OUT event, the
OUT State
DELAY advisory is triggered to the crew. Selecting the advisory will display the
DEPT GND DELAY page.
The OUT time is captured in one of two ways:
• Doors closed followed by brake off.

The OUT time is the brake off time.
• Brake off followed by doors closed.
The OUT time is the doors closed time.
The OUT report is sent immediately after the OUT event except when either
'Boarded Fuel' and/or 'Fuel On Board' have not been entered in the
INITIALIZATION page. If either of the fuel fields have not been entered, the
INIT advisory is triggered. If the fuel fields have not been entered within two
minutes, the OUT report is sent with NULS in the applicable fuel field/s and the
INIT advisory is cleared.
OFF State
The OFF time is captured at strut extended.
The OFF report is sent immediately after the OFF event. If the preceding OOOI
state was ON (indicating a touch-and-go), the destination station is substituted
for the departure station in the OFF report.
ON State
The ON time is captured at strut compressed.
The ON report is sent immediately after the ON event.

initialize the IDU as shown. Select "DOWNLINKS", "FLT CTRL", "ENTER
General
TEST" and type in "PRINTER TEST". Printer will print a message stating this
installation is operational.
On power up, the IDU will upload the screens from the management unit. The
IDU will display "loading page" followed by page number. There are about 70
pages.
The MGMT unit will conduct a self-test on power up, as well as continuously. If
any failed hardware or software is detected in the MGMT unit, then the MGMT
unit will display the "FAIL" advisory in lower right corner of the IDU.
The third radio can be used for voice on the 767 aircraft.
The MGMT unit scans a frequency for uplink data traffic for two minutes. If a
valid uplink to any aircraft is detected, the MGMT unit will automatically perform
a link test (-301 or later MGMT units make a clock update) and revert to data
mode. If no uplink data traffic is detected in two minutes, the MGMT unit will
remain in scan mode and retune the radio to another data frequency. The
MGMT unit will display the frequency being monitored on the lower center area
of the interactive display unit.
A link test is performed from the VHF control page (Comm control page if
SATCOM is activated). Select the LINK test prompt. The link test prompt will
disappear and "IN PROG" will appear in the lower center area of IDU ("NO
COMM" appears if ACARS is not in range of a ground network). After the
ground network has received the LINK test message and acknowledges its
receipt, "IN PROG" will change to the letter "D" (for data mode) followed by the
ground network frequency (131.55 = North American and Far East; 131.72 =
Europe, Asia, Africa; and 131.45 = Japan). This response indicates a
successful LINK test. If aircraft is not in range of a ground network, "NO
COMM" will be displayed. Management unit will retune the radio through the
ground network frequencies (2 minutes each) until valid uplink traffic to any
aircraft is detected. Then the aircraft will perform a LINK test automatically.
When the point is reached, avionics is operational. However, it may not be

possible to receive uplink messages that originate internal to Delta's host
computer. (Example: weather responses.)
