Narrative:
After declaring an emergency for a failed engine, and a safe uneventful single engine approach to landing, a stuck microphone occurred. I was relieved with the outcome of the situation and unaware of a stuck microphone. Profanity was exchanged between myself and my riding co-worker, over the austin ground frequency 121.9. In the future, I will choose more appropriate language and check for a stuck microphone situation.
