I would like to record, from the intercom system of a typical GA plane
(Cessna), to an off the shelf digital audio recorder. The question is, how
do I go from the intercom system to the 'Mic' jack of the recorder....
without damaging either? I presume I need more than just a 2.5mm adapter
for the intercom system???


I did this with a series resistor to attenuate the signal. Connect a
trim pot resistor and change its value until you get an undistorted
recording.

Still better: Connect the resistor in a potentiometer connection,
CCW end to common (ground), CW end to signal source and slider
to output. Take the low side of output from common.
