Where is the CALLS panel located in the Flight Deck?

• A. Forward, left Overhead Panel
• B. Forward, right Overhead Panel
• C. Center pedestal
• D. Behind the cockpit door

Answer: (A)

The CALLS panel is a cockpit call/interphone control used to contact the cabin crew, and it’s placed on the forward left overhead panel. This location gives the captain quick, direct access to signal the cabin or respond to calls without stretching across the instruments or center console. The center pedestal is where radios and other flight controls live, so it isn’t where call panels belong. Putting the panel on the right overhead would place it on the other crewmember’s side, not the primary access point for cockpit call duties, and placing it behind the cockpit door would hinder immediate communication during normal operations.
