Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

Stefan writes:

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.

You haven't ever actually flown a plane, have you?

You'll have to cite a source for this nugget of knowledge. Are you
familiar with Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF)?

FAA AIMs and CFRs make it pretty clear that communications involving a
controller are pilot-controller exchanges, not pilot-pilot exchanges.

Yes, but it and similar schemes don't involve a controller, so
obviously the communication is between aircraft directly.

But you just said that all communications are air-ground. You can't
back pedal.

I can expect others here to have at least a basic knowledge of how
such communications work.

We do. You don't. All communications are NOT air-ground. Disagree?

If there is a controller on the channel, they are.

While that may be true, it in no way relates to your statement quoted
above.

Stating "you're not supposed to listen to other pilots" is just plain
wrong. Pilots listen to other pilot transmissions to increase their
situational awareness.

Thank you.

Utter nonsense.

It will be entertaining to see what bs you come up with next.
