Hi TheFlyingDJ,

Morse isn't a required exam now under JAR licencing.

Although it is very handy to know for when identing navaids... it only takes a few hours a night for a week to learn pretty comprehensively (well the letters anyway).

I'd use the Ten Miles Out / Elephants In Straw Huts / etc method to learn morse...

T -
M --

E .

S ...
H ....
F .._. (Beethovens 5th)

etc...

Yup I went and learnt it just after my PPL before starting the IMC course. I used a freeware dos computer program but I can't find it now (around 6 years ago).

Just a comment... the VFR and IFR RT exams are both JAR Theory exams... so each of them are individual exams for the JAR-FCL ATPL Examinations.

Also you don't require an MCC to say you have an fATPL... well in reality the fATPL doesn't exist all it says is you have a JAR CPL/IR with the ATPL Subjects Passed.

Best wishes,

Charlie Zulu.
