(Yes, airplane pilots STILL have to use Morse to decode the aural
identification of DME/VOR/NDB transmitters/beacons.)
Yeah, but for us pilots, we only have to decode a handful of letters
repeated over and over. Plus, the morse is depicted on the chart and
the speed is slow (like 5-8 WPM).
My instructors were impressed when I would identify VORs without
looking at the chart....
