I guess my point would be that some blunt ergonomic help never goes astray - be it in aircraft or Morgans. Hard to believe but most light planes do not have warning lights or audio signals if the oil pressure is dropping or fuel quantity or pressure is in the danger zone. Yes you are meant to notice that instrument on the other side of the panel, the one tucked under the knees of your copilot, is silently trying to tell you your motor will stop in five minutes if you don't do something while you are talking to ATC, changing frequency and trying to fly the bloody thing. I once cooked a 20,000 euro engine because I did not notice the oil pressure falling while concentrating on some other life threatening issues.
Stevemag's point is a good one - stay alert. But the interaction between human and machine is filled with flaws and one of them is the location of the indicator light on my Morgan.
