- No. 1 (No. 2) communication units (Comms Units)
- No. 1 (No. 2) navigation units (Nav Units)
- Traffic Collision and Avoidance System (TCAS)
- The Clearance Delivery Unit (CDU) gives an alternative or emergency control of the No. 1 Comms Unit and the No. 1 Nav Unit.
B. System ComponentsThe primary components of the system are the:
- Two RMU (Ref. Fig. 1 & 2)
- CDU (Ref. Fig. 1 & 3)
C. System OperationIn usual operation, the No. 1 (No. 2 ) RMU sets the mode and frequency of operation of the No.1 (No. 2) Comms and Nav Units. The No. 1 (No. 2) RMU also controls the modes of operation of the TCAS. The CDU only sets the mode and frequency of operation for the No. 1 Comms Unit and the No. 1 Nav Unit.
