How many comsets are supported by the A/C simultaneously?

• A. 5 comsets
• B. 20 comsets
• C. 10 comsets
• D. 15 comsets

Answer: (C)

The ability to support multiple comsets at the same time comes from how many independent radios and the routing system are installed in the aircraft. Each comset is its own radio channel (transmitter/receiver pair) that must be able to be active without stepping on other channels. The A/C in this scenario is designed with a radio management system and a switching matrix that can handle ten separate comsets simultaneously. This lets you maintain simultaneous communications with ATC, airline operations, and other services, all routed to the appropriate audio panels without interference. So, ten comsets at once is the capacity built into this system. Other numbers would require more or fewer radios and a different management arrangement, but for this setup, ten is the supported maximum.
