Nick beat me to the punch on this one....
Morse code is something I remember my old man learning back in the '70's for his ATPL. What an atiquated idea.
Considering the poor quality of pilot that is produced from your average IFR course, I fully agree that there are more important things to be concerned with. Perhaps they should ditch the morse and teach some operational GPS IFR skills instead?
How can the JAA system be touted as the epitomy and still have standards from WWII. Please God, don't let this get out of the EU!
But on the other hand, Morse may be handy the next time I am trapped in an upturned ocean liner for communicating with the search parties...
I sure hope they've done their IFR
