Grrr

So Centaurus, A3.... and Tee Emm

Can you gents show me the trail of destruction and the piles of bodies resulting from these practices?

I get the feeling it offends your ex-RAAF sensibilities but I honestly wonder if I will find it somewhere amongst the deadly sins.

One of the reasons these generic acronyms have had so much traction over the years is that they work in the environment they were designed for. Its not the RAAF. It's not an Airline. It's an environment where memorising the manufacturer's checklists for the 10 different types you could fly any day is simply impossible.

The other issues raised - instructor standardisation and the technical understanding of those supposedly 'teaching' new pilots - are very valid and, frankly, a disgrace to those (un-named) organisations.

Best of luck with your crusade.
