Narrative:

I was told to 'hold short' for an aircraft on an estimated 5 mi final. I was unhappy about it and voiced my disapproval to my student. However, I was unaware that I had a stuck microphone. This lasted for 5 mins until after the aircraft had landed and I keyed the microphone again to request clearance. The controller said that it had been an 'interesting' conversation and cleared us for takeoff. Although slightly amusing, the whole occurrence was extremely embarrassing. The cessna radios show no indication in the cockpit that you are transmitting. I will watch what I say in the future.

Title: RPTR BEMOANS THE DELAY THE CTLR HAS ASSIGNED NOT KNOWING HE HAS A STUCK MIKE!

Narrative: I WAS TOLD TO 'HOLD SHORT' FOR AN ACFT ON AN ESTIMATED 5 MI FINAL. I WAS UNHAPPY ABOUT IT AND VOICED MY DISAPPROVAL TO MY STUDENT. HOWEVER, I WAS UNAWARE THAT I HAD A STUCK MIKE. THIS LASTED FOR 5 MINS UNTIL AFTER THE ACFT HAD LANDED AND I KEYED THE MIKE AGAIN TO REQUEST CLRNC. THE CTLR SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN AN 'INTERESTING' CONVERSATION AND CLRED US FOR TKOF. ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY AMUSING, THE WHOLE OCCURRENCE WAS EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING. THE CESSNA RADIOS SHOW NO INDICATION IN THE COCKPIT THAT YOU ARE XMITTING. I WILL WATCH WHAT I SAY IN THE FUTURE.
