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.

Ask any airliner pilot who the enemy is...then question me again!!!

Rotty, for an Air Force Weeney, he earned his pay  ;D  True heroism.  Yeah they are all trained to do this, and they are all paid to do this, but how many actually HAVE to do this.  My hat is off to the crew, and the boats in the area, and everyone else who did their part to ensure the safety of this crowd.  A perfect disaster, what should have happened didn't.

Wow, I guess that one is totaled. Personally, I'd cut the front off, rewire the cockpit, and use it as a sim cockpit. ( If I could, that is. )
