Now...Now...Nick....naughty...naughty!
Everyone knows Morse is a basic flying skill that must be mastered....or is it the UK charts are so cluttered with QFE and QNH notations there is no room for the Morse identifiers like the US charts? After all...is not the human memory less fallible than reading the morse right off the chart while listening to it? That discounts those sites that have gone low tech and have voice id's that go...."Teabag VOR...Teabag VOR...Teabag VOR...Teabag VOR" continuously unless out of service for maintenance.
So what if it costs double.....hell...the standards are double that of the USA...right? Ever done a Type rating ride in an hour and a half in the USA? Ever draw out a schematic of each system on the aircraft for the TRE as we do on our Type rides?
Why should one not Book In and Out with the Tower any time you wish to go aviating? Heavens....and how can you land or takeoff at an airport without a control tower or crash services being on duty? Don't forget the Hi-Vis vest either....Christ on a crutch.....mass graves filled with pilots who failed to have one of those things on while preflighting in front of the hangar!
As I said before....Noses Up Lads! Defend that system to the very end.
