Ground Lesson 5 COM RADIO AND AUDIO PANEL OPERATION Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be comfortable manually and automatically tuning and selecting communication frequencies, while properly configuring the selections on the GMA 1347 Audio Panel. Resources • GIFD Pilot's Guide • GIFD PC-based Simulator Exercise 5.1: COM Operation and Methods of Frequency Tuning 1. Are active frequencies displayed toward the inside or outside of the PFD and MFD in the NAV/COM Frequency boxes? Active frequencies are displayed toward the inside of the displays. 2. In what color are active frequencies displayed? Active frequencies are indicated in green. 3. Which key should be pressed to change between the standby and active frequencies? Draw the label on this key. The Frequency Transfer keys are used to transfer the standby and active frequencies for the selected navigation (NAV) and communication (COM) radios. Refer to the Pilot's Guide System Overview section for a depiction of the key. 4. If the COM Frequency Transfer Key is held for two seconds, what occurs? The emergency COM frequency (121.50 MHz) is tuned in the active field of the selected COM radio. 5. When manually tuning a frequency, what is the large COM Knob used for? What is the small COM Knob used for? The large COM Knob changes the MHz, while the small knob changes the kHz. 6. When the NRST Softkey is pressed on the PFD, a list of the nearest airports appears, with runway length and tower/CTAF frequencies listed. How can one directly tune one of these frequencies without having to manually tune it into the COM radio? 1. Press the FMS Knob. 2. Use the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired frequency 3. Press the ENT Key (this places the frequency into the selected COM1 or COM2 standby field based on location of the COM Tuning Box). 4. Press the COM Frequency Transfer Key to place the frequency into the active field. 190-00368-05 Rev. B GIFD Pilot's Training Guide 15
