I accept however that it would involve a vast amount of work on all the liquid cooled planes and is unlikely to happen.
Another idea is for the aircraft you are flying to go on autopilot when you pause to reset or change controls midflight instead of becoming a lawn dart,
You don't receive the report. But the damage happens.

In some planes it will cause engine seizure, in some others huge and fast overheat that would lead to seizure.

It is allready there, but you don't get a text confirming it.
