The intercom in my plane, and all those I have owned will let me talk to clients with radio transmissions in the background.
HOWEVER: I have been teaching two guys how to fly in their old C-172 and it has a Flightcom 403 that cuts off any intercom if there is ANY radio noise in the background.
Yes I know I could turn off the radio, but I have been almost hit twice in the last week by idiots. So I need to keep my electronic ears open.
I had one student freeze up a couple days ago just before touch-down because he could not hear me coaching him about throttle usage.
Can the 403s be re-wired so the intercom is not totally cut off with the radio in the background???
