What does ACP stand for?

• A. Air Communications Panel
• B. Automatic Communications Panel
• C. Audio Control Panel
• D. Audio Communications Processor

Answer: (C)

The Audio Control Panel is the cockpit interface used to manage all crew audio and radio transmission. It lets you select which radio or intercom you want to hear and speak through, adjust the volume for each source, and use push-to-talk to transmit on the chosen channel. On the A320, each pilot has an ACP on the glareshield to route ATC or intercom audio to the headset or cockpit speakers and to choose which microphone or headset is active, along with controlling levels. The other terms don’t match the standard cockpit naming. Air Communications Panel isn’t the official label for this specific audio-routing interface, and Automatic Communications Panel or Audio Communications Processor aren’t used in Airbus terminology. So the correct designation is Audio Control Panel.
