GENERAL SYSTEM PRESENTATION

VHF INTERPHONE

The Very High Frequency (VHF) system serves for short There are 3 interphone systems on the aircraft:
range voice communications. the flight interphone, the cabin interphone and the
service interphone.
HF (Option) - The flight interphone system allows
communication between the flight crew members,
The High Frequency (HF) system serves for all and between the flight crew and the ground

aircraft and one or several ground stations. - The cabin interphone system allows
communication between the cockpit and the cabin
SELCAL (SELective CALling) attendant stations, and between the cabin
attendant stations.
The purpose of the SELCAL system is to give visual and - The service interphone system enables

SYSTEM CONTROL AND INDICATING

COCKPIT

In the cockpit, we find:


- 3 Audio Control Panels (ACPs) for the selection
of communication systems (in transmission and
reception) and for the control of the received
audio signal levels,
- 3 Radio Management Panels (RMPs) for the
selection of radio communication and navigation
frequencies,
- 1 AUDIO SWITCHING selector for the
reconfiguration of channels, in case of ACP
failure,
- 1 CALLS panel for flight crew-to-ground
mechanic or flight crew-to-cabin attendant
calls,
- and various items of acoustic equipment.
The acoustic equipment comprises:
2 loudspeakers with volume control (1),
2 radio PTT switches (on the side sticks),
2 hand microphones (2),
headsets (3),
boomsets (3),
oxygen mask microphones (3).
Facilities are provided in the cockpit for
headsets and boomsets.

CABIN

Panels are installed in the cabin, for the control and


monitoring of the various cabin systems:
- The Forward Attendant Panel (FAP) is located
in the forward entrance area of the aircraft.
The cabin attendants can control the different
cabin systems from here.
- 3 Additional Attendant Panels (AAPs) can be
installed near the doors and are dedicated to
cabin zones.
1 AAP is basically installed near the aft
passenger crew door.

Note: The F.A.P. and the A.A.P. are customized per


airline request.

- The Programming and Test Panel (PTP) is


located at the forward attendant station,
behind a hinged access door next to the FAP.
The PTP enables to test and re-program the

STATIC DISCHARGING

PURPOSE

The aircraft behaves like a Faraday cage and should


be discharged.
The static dischargers avoid static electricity
discharging noise and ensure a good quality of radio
transmission, without interference.
The purpose of the static dischargers is:
- to discharge the static electricity accumulated
by the aircraft during its flight.
- to provide better intelligibility on the HF
and VHF system (avoid static electricity
discharge noise).

customized cabin layouts and optional cabin systems. - passenger address,
With the Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS), - passenger call,
the operator is able to change the cabin layout without - passenger lighted signs,
hardware changes (e.g. cabin loudspeakers, - passenger reading light switching.

This can be simply done by entering, on board, new CREW FUNCTIONS
cabin parameters in the software.
The CIDS is a microprocessor based system. It monitors, - cabin and flight crew interphone,
tests, operates and provides control and monitoring - service interphone,
of the cabin functions. - emergency evacuation signalling.

PRINCIPLE CABIN SYSTEMS FUNCTIONS

To manage various functions, the CIDS has a central - boarding music,

with Decoder Encoder Units (DEUs). The DEUs send (and
receive) information to (and from) the cabin, passenger MONITORING AND TEST FUNCTIONS
and crew systems.
The Director has interfaces to other aircraft systems. - system programming and test,
Through a Programming and Test Panel (PTP) the CIDS - work light test,
can be programmed to customer demand. - escape slide bottle pressure monitoring,
