AUDIO PANEL
DIGITAL CLEARANCE RECORDER WITH
PLAYBACK CAPABILITY
The audio panel contains a digital clearance recorder
that plays back up to 2.5 minutes of COM signal recording.
Recorded COM audio is stored in separate memory blocks.
Audio from all of the selected COM radios are recorded
and can be played back. Anyone able to hear the selected
COM radios is able to hear the COM audio playback.
Once the 2.5 minutes of recording time have been
reached, the recorder begins recording over the stored
memory blocks, starting from the oldest block. Powering
off the unit automatically clears all recorded blocks.
Figure 5-8 Playback Key
The PLAY key controls the playback function.
• Pressing PLAY once plays back the latest recorded
memory block, then returns to normal operation.
• Pressing PLAY during playback of a memory block
halts the playback of this block and plays back the
preceding recorded block. The
PLAY key can be
used to backtrack through the recorded memory
blocks to reach and play back any desired block.
NOTE:
Pressing the
MKR/MUTE
key during
playback halts playback and returns the
recorder/playback to normal operation.
During playback, the PLAY annunciator light blinks
approximately once per second. If a COM input signal is
detected during playback, playback is halted and the new
COM audio is recorded as the latest block.
REVERSIONARY MODE
The red DISPLAY BACKUP button selects the
reversionary mode for the displays. Reversionary mode
operation displays important flight and engine information
on both the PFD and MFD, in case of display failure.
