Default Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

Yeah. One pilot talks on AM and the other listens to FM. Great idea.
Adds a lot of clarity to the communication.


It adds more than you would have with both pilots using AM.

However, you're not supposed to listen to other pilots; you're
supposed to listen to controllers. All conversations are air-ground,
not air-air.
