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.

Nope, but hopefully the pilot will be OK.

The pilot lives and that's most important.

In Germany, they say BAe stands for "British Antique Equipment". Working on the BAe146, I some times think they are right, though I do try to correct them saying it stands for "British Advanced Engineering"  ;D

My best friend used to build 146s at Hatfield. Having heard the horror stories you'll never get me on one! My favourite was getting the wiring loom to fit. String it between two points and get the fatest bloke in the factory to use it as a swing and stretch it :o

Unfortunately, Hawks crashing at airfield with solo students seem to have tended to be pilot error in the past (although I'm not speculating on that quite yet). PPrune has mentioned the old flapless circuit.

BAe? Top quality engineering - you should try a turboprop trainer built by redundant ship builders in Belfast! ;D
