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.

NAL is eyeing a composite airframe. The aircraft will be powered by two "next-generation turboprop engines", it adds. It would have a fly-by-wire control system, open distributed modular avionics, automatic dependence surveillance - broadcast navigation capabilities, and advanced displays.


Completely over engineered too if the article proves to be accurate. Fly by wire in such an aircraft is like covering the wings of the A380 in fabric and dope, pointless  ;D

Another niche market product... Will probably end up hugely overpowered for normal use
