Narrative:
My student and I were given clearance to taxi to the active runway. As we were taxiing, I was explaining to my student the proper techniques for ground operations when I noticed a g-v on a converging taxiway. I concluded that the jet was no factor and continued to taxi. As we passed the intersection, ground radioed to tell us that they wanted us to hold for the jet. I had apparently missed a radio call when I was talking to my student. Later, an FAA inspector on the jet contacted me to say that the jet had right-of-way since it was less maneuverable. I understand that rule applies in the air, but on the ground I thought you comply with ATC instructions concerning right-of-way. If I heard the radio call I would have complied, but in the absence of ATC instructions, do less maneuverable aircraft have right-of-way?

Narrative: MY STUDENT AND I WERE GIVEN CLRNC TO TAXI TO THE ACTIVE RWY. AS WE WERE TAXIING, I WAS EXPLAINING TO MY STUDENT THE PROPER TECHNIQUES FOR GND OPS WHEN I NOTICED A G-V ON A CONVERGING TXWY. I CONCLUDED THAT THE JET WAS NO FACTOR AND CONTINUED TO TAXI. AS WE PASSED THE INTXN, GND RADIOED TO TELL US THAT THEY WANTED US TO HOLD FOR THE JET. I HAD APPARENTLY MISSED A RADIO CALL WHEN I WAS TALKING TO MY STUDENT. LATER, AN FAA INSPECTOR ON THE JET CONTACTED ME TO SAY THAT THE JET HAD RIGHT-OF-WAY SINCE IT WAS LESS MANEUVERABLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT RULE APPLIES IN THE AIR, BUT ON THE GND I THOUGHT YOU COMPLY WITH ATC INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING RIGHT-OF-WAY. IF I HEARD THE RADIO CALL I WOULD HAVE COMPLIED, BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF ATC INSTRUCTIONS, DO LESS MANEUVERABLE ACFT HAVE RIGHT-OF-WAY?
