Crash-Phone Circuit Testing The crash-phone is tested daily at all facilities to make sure it operates satisfactorily. This test usually originates at the control tower on the primary crash-phone circuit and is followed by a test of the secondary crash-phone circuit by flight planning. Emergency Radio Communication Systems Two radio networks coordinate crash and fire-fighting activities. The primary network is referred to as the crash network (or crash net). The crash network provides communications between the control tower and necessary mobile units such as crash trucks and ambulances.
