Download all the sensor data you want; present it to the pilot in any form you want, just don't use it to automatically fly the airplane.
Even if it offers a competitive advantage, per Scott Smith's wings-level scenario, for example??

Sure. . . how is having an electronic sensor tell you that your wings are level any different than using your eyes to tell you that the wings are level? Or your caller? What if you get one of the top pattern fliers to call for you and he uses his superior sight, training, and experience to tell you if your wings are level? Is that a competitive advantage? Think of telemetry as an electronic caller. Its not flying the plane for you, its just telling you you're screwing up.
