1. A method for providing playback of air traffic control (ATC) communications for a pilot of an aircraft, comprising:
receiving an audio communication from the ATC for the pilot of the aircraft;
segmenting the audio communication into three separate audio channels, the audio channels comprising,
a raw channel comprising the audio communication as received,
an enhanced channel comprising a filtered version of the audio communication, and
a synthesized channel comprising a speech synthesized version of the audio communication;
identifying each audio channel with reference to identifying data for the aircraft; and
storing the separate audio channels in an electronic memory for later retrieval by the pilot of the aircraft.
