When I learned to fly in the old Tri-Pacer all it had was a cabin speaker and a handheld carbon mic – I had younger ears then at it was sufficient. Now I have two airplanes and 2 hangars at two different airports and 2 headsets. Went to fly the Tri-Pacer on the weekend – guess where the headsets were? The speaker is still there and functional as is the old carbon mic; they got me through a pinch. I had forgotten what the airplane really sounds like: all the rattle and shake from the Lycoming is unabated and the wind noise in-flight is much more apparent. I won’t make a habit of flying without headsets but it was an enjoyable ½ hour flight down memory lane.

If wired direct to the radio, instead of going through an intercom, it might have some backup benefits in case of intercom outage.

Thanks Neil
All I could think of is in the hangar being able to hear traffic.
