Pilotho - what course are you on? I am surprised they ask you to learn morse code, since it is NOT part of the JAA ATPL syllabus... As has been mentioned, modern FMCs now auto-ident navaids, and the ident is also invariably printed on Jepp plates
, but it's useful to know all the same - especially to ident en route navaids.
