When an emergency call comes from the flight deck on the CRJ 200, what will you hear in the cabin?

In the event of an emergency call from the flight deck on the CRJ 200, the cabin will sound a combination of one high chime followed by one low chime. This distinct pattern, characterized as a HI/LO chime, is specifically designed to alert the cabin crew to the urgency of the situation and prompts them to be ready for potential actions that may need to follow, such as preparing the cabin for an emergency landing or addressing passenger needs.

The HI chime serves as a clear signal that immediate attention is necessary, while the LO chime adds to the urgency of the communication, indicating that crew members should be prepared for instructions or information from the flight deck. This chime pattern effectively differentiates an emergency call from regular announcements or other signals in the cabin, ensuring that it captures the crew's attention in critical moments.
