ABSTRACT:
A device and method that allows a pilot to switch between communication and navigation inputs without disrupting the pilot's current task. An audio selector panel has inputs for at least two communication transceivers and outputs for at least a pilot's headset. A rotary switch on the face of the audio selector panel selects which inputs are connected to which outputs. The audio selector panel further includes a remote swap switch that is mounted in a position in which the pilot can activate the switch without removing his/her hands from a yoke or diverting his/her eyes to the switch. The activation of the remote swap switch causes the audio selector panel to switch between the communication and navigation inputs. In this way, the pilot can switch communication and navigation inputs without disrupting the current task of the pilot.
