Mr C seldom gives a link - just the devilfinder search engine

But from URL:

"Oddly, there is one high-tech industry where Morse code is still used:
airline pilots have to know it. Admittedly it is only at about 5 wpm, and
only three letters at a time. Beacons which radiate in the medium wave
region of the spectrum use three-letter identifiers sent very, very slowly
in Morse. NAVAIDS still use Morse."

Sez "Navaids broadcast their identifier using Morse. That's how you verify
you've tuned in to the right facility."

VOR's, which are above the FM band, broadcast ID's in Morse. However, the
dot and dash rendition is printed on the map. I guess knowing Morse is
one less thing to slow you down. I certainly knew it, when picking up a
private ticket, but never got a chance to use my highly refined skill,
owing to having no radio of any kind in the Aeronca 7AC's I've owned.

I didn't know airline pilots were required to learn it. I ought to have heard
of that, if true.
