Severity of a problem... I like that.

I am a believer that if you get a light , its telling you something.

I had an eng chip in a 206 this winter. I was in a perfect place to land and decided to put in on the ground ASAP. It turned out when they tore the eng apart a bereing in the compressor let go and the gear box was eating its self. I proably had a couple of minutes. Note to self= listen to the light, always

Personally with low fuel , eng chips, etcIf I didnt have a good spot I would continue ( with an auto in mind) looking for the first suitable safe place to put it down
