Q

State the required steps to transmit/receive on VHF R from a TCP and ACP, and at the same time monitor audio signals from VHF C.

A

TCP • Ensure the TCP OFF light is out. • Press the VHF mode select key. • Line select VHF R to make it the active radio. • Type the desired frequency into the scratchpad. Then either: - • Select the frequency into the standby line, then press XFR to make it active, or, • Select the frequency straight into the active line. ACP • Push the VHF R transmitter select switch, and adjust the volume. • Push the VHF C receiver volume control, and adjust the volume.

25
How many VHF frequencies can be stored by the TCP?
A total of 24 frequencies may be stored on 3 STORED VHF pages.
26
a. If 121.5 MHz is tuned on VHF L from the Capt’s TCP, what happens at the FO’s and observer’s ACP? b. What happens if 121.5 MHz is tuned from the FO’s TCP on VHF R?
a. The receiver lights on both ACPs illuminate and they would be able to monitor that radio. b. The same. When a VHF radio is tuned to frequency 121.5, all flight crew automatically monitor the radio; the receiver lights on all audio control panels illuminate.
