Narrative:

After being cleared to land and apparently on short approach, the radio speaker went out. I did not realize this until I did not get instructions on where to exit the runway. The first available exit was another runway which may have been active considering the wind (040/05). I realized there was a problem while proceeding to taxiway gulf and not hearing a response from tower when I asked them to confirm that it was all right to exit there. I checked both radios and could not receive on either one. As I had not reached golf, a commercial carrier that must have been cleared to land behind me had to abort his landing. I exited on golf and watched for a light signal and the receiver or speaker started working again. I was asked to phone the tower upon shutdown and explained the situation to them. I left the aircraft at norfolk until better VFR WX as there was a scattered layer about 900'. At this time I don't know what caused the problem, so I'm not sure that a headset would have prevented the incident. Prior to this flight, no radio problems were experienced with this aircraft. I have enclosed an old copy of the ILS 5 approach. The intersecting runway was about 2400' from the approach; but, as you can see, golf is a distance down the runway. The aircraft was not stopped on the active, but it takes tie to roll that far, even with a fast taxi speed.

Title: SMA ON TRAINING FLT HAS RECEIVER PROBLEMS. LONG ROLL OUT TO TXWY. ACR DOES A GO AROUND.

Narrative: AFTER BEING CLRED TO LAND AND APPARENTLY ON SHORT APCH, THE RADIO SPEAKER WENT OUT. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS UNTIL I DID NOT GET INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE TO EXIT THE RWY. THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT WAS ANOTHER RWY WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN ACTIVE CONSIDERING THE WIND (040/05). I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROB WHILE PROCEEDING TO TXWY GULF AND NOT HEARING A RESPONSE FROM TWR WHEN I ASKED THEM TO CONFIRM THAT IT WAS ALL RIGHT TO EXIT THERE. I CHKED BOTH RADIOS AND COULD NOT RECEIVE ON EITHER ONE. AS I HAD NOT REACHED GOLF, A COMMERCIAL CARRIER THAT MUST HAVE BEEN CLRED TO LAND BEHIND ME HAD TO ABORT HIS LNDG. I EXITED ON GOLF AND WATCHED FOR A LIGHT SIGNAL AND THE RECEIVER OR SPEAKER STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I WAS ASKED TO PHONE THE TWR UPON SHUTDOWN AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THEM. I LEFT THE ACFT AT NORFOLK UNTIL BETTER VFR WX AS THERE WAS A SCATTERED LAYER ABOUT 900'. AT THIS TIME I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE PROB, SO I'M NOT SURE THAT A HEADSET WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE INCIDENT. PRIOR TO THIS FLT, NO RADIO PROBS WERE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS ACFT. I HAVE ENCLOSED AN OLD COPY OF THE ILS 5 APCH. THE INTERSECTING RWY WAS ABOUT 2400' FROM THE APCH; BUT, AS YOU CAN SEE, GOLF IS A DISTANCE DOWN THE RWY. THE ACFT WAS NOT STOPPED ON THE ACTIVE, BUT IT TAKES TIE TO ROLL THAT FAR, EVEN WITH A FAST TAXI SPD.
