How do you call the Purser on the A330 interphone?

• A. Press CAPT
• B. Press INTPH
• C. Press PURS
• D. Press INTPH+PURS

Answer: (D)

To reach a specific cabin station on the A330 interphone, you must set up both the interphone path and the target line. The interphone system uses separate controls to route a call to a particular recipient, so you don’t simply “open” the line or “press” the target alone—you need to activate the interphone and select the Purser’s line at the same time. Pressing the interphone key (to enable the interphone circuit) and the Purser key (to address the Purser) together establishes the correct audio path and routes the call to the Purser’s set. This ensures the Purser receives the alert and can answer, rather than a general or misrouted call.
