It’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it, and the local conditions in terms of weather etc, to judge it to within a few seconds.
if lined up on the centreline, it’s about 60s for an A380 and 747, 55 for an A330, 777, 50 for A321, maybe 45 for A320/737.....before you think about wind effects.
