I said, 'at face value'. How did the OP assess the
cruising oil pressure
without flying it?
Yes, everyone makes mistakes. Some make mistakes of such gravity that they demonstrate that they are not fit to be trusted with an aircraft.
I'm not sure which makes me more cross, some of the stupid acts I come across in GA, or the bizarre pack-animal behaviour of those who step in when anyone makes a bold and entirely correct statement about an individual's incompetence. Perhaps this is borne out of a failure to appreciate the gravity of the mattter, perhaps from a desire to justify past indiscretions of their own.
