PASSENGER ADDRESS (PA) SYSTEM
A passenger address system is available for delivering voice messages over the cabin speaker. When the PA
Key is selected on the pilot side Audio Panel, the COM MIC Annunciator on that side is extinguished, and the
active COM frequency on the associated PFD changes to white, indicating that there is no COM selected. A
Push-to-Talk (PTT) must be pressed to deliver PA announcements. The PA Annunciator flashes about once per
second while the PTT is depressed.
The copilot is free to use either COM radio while the pilot delivers PA messages.

SIMULTANEOUS COM OPERATION
Both the pilot and the copilot can transmit and receive messages simultaneously over separate COM radios.
The selected COM MIC Annunciator flashes when either pilot’s microphone PTT is pressed.
If both pilots select the same COM radio, the pilot has priority on COM1 and the copilot has priority on
COM2.
