Nobody has mentioned "common sense". It's all very well 601 if you are operating RPT during business hours when a LAME is easy to access and I fully concur with your procedure under that condition.
Its a different matter at some airstrip in the bush miles from nowhere at 6.00 am on a Sunday morning.
Luckily for me, such a situation has never happened - yet. I have always had access to a LAME or a mobile phone to ring one and have dealt with very minor problems by following the LAMEs instructions which solved the problem. I'm not sure if that is legal but the issue was de minimis anyway.
