SECTION 4 AUDIO PANEL AND CNS

4.1 OVERVIEW

The Communication/Navigation/Surveillance (CNS) system includes the Audio Panel, communication radios,
navigation radios, and Mode S transponder. The System Overview section provides a block diagram description
of the Audio Panel and CNS system interconnection.
CNS operation in DA40/40F aircraft is performed by the following Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):
• GDU 1040 Primary Flight Display (PFD) and
GDU 1040/1042 Multi Function Display (MFD)
• GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Units (2)
The PFD/MFD controls are used to tune the communication transceivers and navigation radios.
The Audio Panel provides the traditional audio selector functions of microphone and receiver audio selection.
The Audio Panel includes an intercom system (ICS) between the pilot, copilot, and passengers, a marker beacon
receiver, and a COM clearance recorder. Ambient noise from the aircraft radios is reduced by a feature called
Master Avionics Squelch (MASQ). When no audio is detected, MASQ processing further reduces the amount of
background noise from the radios.
The Mode S transponder is controlled with softkeys located on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) at the lower
portion of the screen. The Transponder Data Box is located to the left of the System Time Box. The data box
displays a four-digit code field, a mode field, and a reply status indicator.
