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.

"The pilot took off from the scene without looking back. Another pilot on the airfield tried to get his attention, but he kept running."

I can't help but think of Ricky Bobby and the Invisible fire after he crashes.

The story I heard is that he was carrying a black bag/satchel.  When he returned for the investigators, no such bag.  I can only imagine what was in that bag.
