Pilot call Panel (PCP)
Timat Pilot Call Panel (PCP) is a part of the Ground Crew Call system that installed in the cockpit (flight deck).
The PCP provides communication between the flight crew and ground crews. This communication is used mostly when the aircraft is on ground, but communication can be provided also on the air between the flight crew and the Wing Inspection Station (WIS).
The GROUND CREW CALL SYSTEM and communication system primarily provides the capability for call signaling and voice communication between the flight crew and the cargo crew on the ground.
The system also provides call signaling between the flight crew and:
The system consists of the following units:
The PCP provides communication between the flight crew and ground crews. This communication is used mostly when the aircraft is on ground, but communication can be provided also on the air between the flight crew and the Wing Inspection Station (WIS).
The GROUND CREW CALL SYSTEM installed in cargo aircraft B747-400 manufactured by BOEING as well as in 747-400 Special Freighter.
The system also provides call signaling between the flight crew and:
- WIS – Wings Inspection Station
- Pilots' Call Panel, located in the cockpit
- Interphone handsets located at the crew rest bunks.
- Flight deck call buttons located on the handset cradles.
