The RTS controls are located on which interfaces?

• A. Cyclic and EUFD
• B. The CCP panel only
• C. The front console only
• D. The EUFD alone

Answer: (A)

RTS controls are placed on the cyclic and the EUFD so you can manage radio communications directly from the pilot’s hands and view, without taking attention away from flying. The cyclic is your primary flight control, so having RTS there lets you push-to-talk and adjust settings while keeping control of the aircraft. The EUFD provides another interface for selecting frequencies and operating the radio from the display, giving flexible access in different flight situations. Relying only on the CCP panel or the front console would require reaching to other areas or taking eyes off the flight task, and using the EUFD alone wouldn’t give as convenient access when your hands are busy or you’re looking at the cyclic.
