Piers Smerdon at Cabair

[Jinkster]

What a legend!

[Ray Ban]

Yeah we know Piers is a legend in his own lifetime but I thought he was out in Florida? Anyway how's the IR going?

[Hansard]

Is training in the States dying a death?

If he's back, he's the second big name I know to have come home.

Piers did my CPL skills test, all 2 hours 41 minutes of it.. that guy was an absolute cracker.. if he got out the plane and said i had failed, i would have accepted his worrd without doubt. luckily he said i passed..

Piers is at cabair and as far as i understand will be sorting OFT out aswell as working for cabair in the uk.

If any of you get a chance to train with him you should bite your own arm off to do so.

Piers Smerdon.

Well what can I say, TOP BLOKE!

A fantastic instructor, (my present one infact).

Hat's off to you Sir!

The Smerd

Piers did my Flight Instructors rating and I learnt more in those few weeks than I have learned. How he manages to maintain such enthusiasm after so long in the job is beyond human comprehension. I have never met a more knowledgeable, enthusiastic and committed person in my life. Anyone who is fortunate to get some time with him will echo this and other posts. Hats off to the Smerd and I only wish there were more like him

Difficult to add any superlatives to what has been already been said here. Piers is living proof that a mere mortal civilian can reach a higher plane of admiration amongst his 'peers' for his instructional skills (couldn't resist that play on words!) than the ubiquitous CFS old boys often think of as their personal fiefdom. He is certainly an inspiration to the career instructor genre.
Hope to see him over at Cranfield soon

ahhh, now there's a name from the past, i too dropped in here by mistake, piers did my BCPL all those years ago, command a big jet now, but nice to read that he's still around, top bloke

[Alt Static]

Piers did my CPL, ME and some IR plus the FI(A). Without doubt, the best flight instructor. His dedication, motivation and unbelievable knowledge is remarkable - thank you Piers!

[Jinkster]
