I'm thinking you don't need to make it an emergency procedures checklist item to tell the pilot to terminate the flight as soon as possible
Aaahhh, watch out for the legal vultures thermalling with their liability claims DAR, driver head down trouble shooting and not paying attention to setting up for the inevitable comes to mind, nothing a legal won't stoop to for a payout. I've read that a third of the cost of a GA single is for liability insurance, I bet the manuals are poured over by the manufacturers legal team prior to issue. Have been staggered at the size of car manuals in the US, a veritable encyclopaedia when compared to ours, saying do this, don't do that. Of course there is the story of the RV driver who set the cruise control and went back to make a cuppa and was surprised when the vehicle speared off the road. Apocryphal or not, they do reside out there.
