Hi,
New to the 737 and doing my TR currently and I have some questions on the ACP.
Coming from an airplane in which you have a PTT on the ACP:
( I/C: NORMAL POSITION, allowing you to hear and speak to your colleague (and the cabin crew when they call) without having to do anything with the transmitter switches when you use your boom set, however, if you use your microphone, then you need to select the INT transmitter switch; NEUTRAL POSITION: rarely used; R/T: used when you do not want to use the PTT switch located on your Control wheel)
and one on the Control wheel : two positions ( neutral and pushed (used to transmit when one transmitter switch is selected)
Pretty simple I must say.
I do not know if the B737 FCOM is unclear but the ACP use seems complicated
I mean, do I need to do anything to speak to my colleague and the cabin crew ( when they call the flight deck)? Can I let the PTT on the ACP in the I/C position and talk to them without using the PTT on my CW?
Is it equivalent to letting the ACP PTT in the neutral position and use the CW PTT in the INT position with the FLT INT transmitter sw selected?
Thank you
