Having counted Centaurus a close friend for 45 or more years, I really have to rise to his defence, here ... you are free, of course, to hold whatever view you may choose but to suggest that Centaurus is wet behind the ears is a bit rich ...


Is Centaurus a person who went to Aviation Nirvana with a bare Instructors Rating , 4-500 hours

He passed that sort of milestone somewhat in excess of 60-odd years ago ..


This guy is sharp ..

Oh, that he definitely is ... and very thorough in what he does and says.


I used the first couple of hours flying the thing and a few landings to get that sort of information.

A risky way to do the flying business ?


Did it really just take 15 minutes to find all those errors?

Did is say he was sharp, thorough, and very competent ?


In an ideal world this would not happen but, General Aviation is not in that world and never was.

... and will remain ever thus unless folks speak up.


I have seen this for forty years and counting.

... but not raised your hand in protest ?
