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.

6 episodes this series. ::)
great as always, but i'm hoping they make up for it next time out. I know they struggle with the filming for the summer series as the weather tends to make a meal of it so maybe that comes into it.

I'm curious why JK's 9th lap was recorded, the rules they made up were you have your practice laps then the final lap only was recorded no matter what. :-X And originally it was 5 laps practice 6th recorded.

It was a bit disappointing to see they let JK back in... I'm sorry, but that guy is just full of it. You could smell the 'record' from a mile away...

And oh yeah... the Nubira isn't American, it's a former Daewoo, so it's Korean!

I read sometime ago that it was changed (again). Nine laps and then your best is recorded. Not really fair to mix up these times with the old one lappers.......but anything that gives Simon Cowl a slapping can't be that bad ;D
