WWW,
Very basic working knowledge of morse, not a bad idea....proficiency, complete and utter nonsense,
++ Well what use is anything if you are not profficient?
And...as FMC/FMS are now installed in nearly all new aeroplanes
++ And what about the thousands of commercial public transport aircraft in which they are not? Not to mention the FMC failure I sufferred TODAY?
what better study aid could there be for new pilots?
++ All new pilots operating an FMC need to be trained in its use. By their airline, using their unique procedures, on their aircraft type, using the software update found on their fleet. Trying to teach a 'generic' course would cause more harm than good.
Wonder if LORAN (A) is still on your tests?
++ No it isn't.
++ You tried to make out Morse is a waste of time. It isn't and you know your argument is weak.
++ If you admit that I will be pleasantly suprised.
