Morse Code
Are PPL students supposed to learn it? I mean how useful a skill is it to have?
During my time away from the Trevor Thom manuals I have decided to learn morse code, if only for a break from the reading. It's not as hard as initially feared - I think I have most of the letters learned by their sound. I bought a CD off of the Internet.
My understanding is that it is used for identifying navaids. I have read on PPRUNE that the big boys don't really need to identify morse because their FMC's do it for them and that they don't even have to learn it for their JAA ATPL.
