In this instance, Humpback trumps Beaver, lest the Beaver become a crumpled wad of aluminum and the Humpback ends up critically injured.

All in all, good SA by the PIC.

Wow, that was quite a bit of airmanship, I am surprised he was able to see anything that close.......

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

And as Chuck recently reminded me -
