To make an announcement to a specific cabin zone, which action is required?

• A. Press PA +1 or 2 and hold PPT bar
• B. Press PA and hold PPT bar
• C. Hold PPT bar
• D. Press CAPT and PA

Answer: (A)

Targeting an announcement to a specific cabin zone requires routing the mic to that zone before speaking. You do this by selecting the zone (pressing the appropriate zone button for the cabin area, such as zone 1 or zone 2) while engaging the PA, and then holding the push-to-talk control to transmit. This sequence ensures the message goes only to the chosen zone, rather than to all cabins. If you only press PA and hold the push-to-talk bar with no zone selection, the message would broadcast to all zones. Merely holding the push-to-talk bar without activating the PA or selecting a zone does nothing, and using the captain’s mic option isn’t the method for zone-specific announcements.
