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.

Props to Mr. Marchand!  :D

Hard to believe that since 1972, when Eddy Merckx set the record of 49.431 kph to the current record, set by Ond[ch345]ej Sosenka in 2005 at 49.700 kph, that the speed differential is only 27/100ths of a kilometer per hour! Too bad Sosenka tested positive for meth 3 years later and was banned by the UCI, which ended his career.
