With the CAPT & PURS Switch in the CAPT position, pressing a CMD button at the F/A Station will _________________.

• A. sound the Flight Deck horn for 3 seconds.
• B. silence the evacuation tone
• C. activate a PA
• D. flash the cockpit lights

Answer: (A)

Interphone calls from the cabin to the cockpit use a selector to determine how the flight crew will be alerted. When the CAPT position is selected, pressing the CMD button at the flight attendant station sends a brief alert to the flight deck as a horn sound for about 3 seconds. This quick audible cue grabs the pilots’ attention without starting a cabin-wide PA or altering other tones. It’s a fast, discreet way to summon the captain when needed. Other actions like silencing tones, starting a PA, or flashing cockpit lights aren’t triggered in this CAPT configuration by a CMD press.
