D. AFT Passenger Transmit Functional Checkout Procedure
(PIR-107455, Rev. New.)

The only passenger that has transmit capability is the AFT Passenger #2 (right seat facing aft). There
is no setup required to enable the transmit function using the AFT Passenger #2 PTT button located
on the headset jack bezel. It should be understood that pressing the AFT Passenger #2 PTT button
will allow the passenger to transmit on whatever VHF radio the copilot is setup for on the GMA 1347
(G1000) or GMA 1360 (G1000 NXi) Audio Panels. There is no means to mute or isolate the AFT
Passenger #2 PTT button. The AFT Passenger #2 has all the capability normally available through
the GMA 1347 (G1000) or GMA 1360 (G1000 NXi) Audio Panels in addition to the PTT which directly
connects to the copilot transmit system. The copilot can override the AFT Passenger #2 transmission
by depressing the yoke mounted copilot PTT. All AFT Passenger Transmit failure modes enable the
copilot to have full functionality.
Transmit using the follow checkout procedure:
(a) Plug a headsets into the AFT Passenger #2 position (right seat facing aft) and copilot’s
respective phone and microphone jacks. Configure the GMA 1347 (G1000) or GMA 1360
(G1000 NXi) and PFD as desired to transmit to another aircraft, station, or handheld radio
from the copilots position.
(b) Transmit from the AFT Passenger #2 position (right seat facing aft) by pressing the PTT
button. Ensure the transmission is clearly received.
(c) Using two technicians, transmit a long count from the AFT Passenger #2 position (right
seat facing aft) by continuously depressing the PTT button. While transmitting from the
AFT Passenger #2 position have the second technician transmit from the copilot’s position.
Ensure the copilot’s transmission is immediate and clearly interrupts the AFT Passenger #2
transmission.
(d) If either steps (b) or (c) are not functioning correctly troubleshoot and repeat until correct
and clear.
(e) If both steps (b) and (c) are operating correctly and clearly, this functional test is complete.
