Co-Pilot Responding To .WAV File Announcements

Featured Replies

When .wav files are being played, the co-pilot is listening and responds to various words being said by making changes to the aircraft configuration.

Any way to turn that off?

I'm aware that .wav files can be used to provide co-pilot commands . I don't use that. I give him/her all commands myself, verbally.

If I've missed some, please let me know.

You'll get the best experience by having all audio routed to headset, because speech profile training is usually done against a completely silent background.

Maybe you're using a desktop mike with speakers feeding into it, or have FO audio on speakers and they are feeding the mike.

It is possible to use MCE with such configuration, but you'll need to create a speech profile that takes into account the ambient noise you're experiencing when flight simming and carefully position speakers.

You don't have to be fearful of FO doing something that would scupper your flight though.

He's trained for good airman-ship.

All disruptive commands (when not scripted) will require confirmation before FO actually makes the switching.

For instance, once the engines are running, try "all irs off", "shut down all engines", "close fuel lever one". . No go until you confirm.

By default, keeping silent for the next 10 seconds or so, means "ignore that command"

Try "gear up" on ground. You won't fool him because he knows it would be mad to do so.

Even disconnecting autopilot or autothrottle when airborne requires confirmation, because you could have gone to the bathroom and certainly don't want a nasty surprise after coming back.
