  • $\begingroup$ As a semi-related aside, I don't think the airline systems include any kind of telemetry capability (early paramedic programs used radios like the APCOR which could transmit EKG data to the remote doctors) - That's been largely phased out in paramedic programs & obsoleted in general by AED (Automated External Defibrillator) systems today though. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Your assumption is exactly correct (different aircraft, same connectors)! BTW, notice how difficult those flaps are to operate from the aisle, with each going a different direction and requiring insertion perpendicular to the operator's line of sight. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 20:42

    $\begingroup$ This is correct, it is just a connection to the on board comms, so you don't have to drag the interphone all the way there and also so you can be hands free. The pilots will get a radio patch via AIRINC to MEDLINK. $\endgroup$
