Narrative:

Receiving radar vectors to intercept ILS 23 at cle. Considerable 'P' static due to precipitation/ice resulted in poor communications exchanges. Following a change to a second approach frequency, communications were temporarily lost. Communications were reestablished after 2 1/2 mins on the original approach frequency using a second microphone. Was revectored to intercept the ILS and completed a normal approach and landing. Later examination determined a stuck microphone switch.

Title: ATX PLT ON FRT FLT EXPERIENCES STUCK MIKE.

Narrative: RECEIVING RADAR VECTORS TO INTERCEPT ILS 23 AT CLE. CONSIDERABLE 'P' STATIC DUE TO PRECIPITATION/ICE RESULTED IN POOR COMS EXCHANGES. FOLLOWING A CHANGE TO A SECOND APCH FREQ, COMS WERE TEMPORARILY LOST. COMS WERE REESTABLISHED AFTER 2 1/2 MINS ON THE ORIGINAL APCH FREQ USING A SECOND MICROPHONE. WAS REVECTORED TO INTERCEPT THE ILS AND COMPLETED A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG. LATER EXAMINATION DETERMINED A STUCK MIKE SWITCH.
