Abstract: An aviation communication system which includes (a) a recording device in operative connection with (i) a communication signal transceiver so as to enable the recording of communication signals sent and received by the transceiver and so as to enable the generation of an audio signal output, and (ii) an audio transmitter for converting the audio signal output from the recording device into audible sound; and (b) a controller configured for operative connection to the recording device, which controller enables one or more recorded communication signals from the recording device to be transmitted as one or more audio signals to the audio transmitter while the recording device continues to record communication signals sent and received by the transceiver.
