No sooner had I chimed the cabin and he goes "uh guys...are you gonna run the procedure for that high oil pressure?" I look back and shake my head and assure him "there's no procedure, just a limitation. As long as it's back in the normal range within 5 minutes, it's considered normal." But I can tell the jumpseater is uncomfortable and unsatisfied by what I thought was a reasonable answer. A few minutes later he pipes up again. "But you should probably still write it up. Right, Captain?" I chuckle but then look back and realize he is serious and looking rather uncomfortable. "Write what up? That the oil pressure was momentarily high on take off and made the jumpseater nervous but returned to normal before the wheels were in the wells, never even approaching published limitations? Nah. I don't think so."
