Startle time
I'm working up a project that is going to be reliant upon some assumptions about pilot response time to engine failure in an aeroplane.
Can anybody point me to any research or requirements anywhere showing pilot response times to abnormal events? I thought I remembered a figure of 1.5 seconds from engine failure to moving the collective on small helicopters as a requirement for adequate controllability, but going through CS.27 I can't seem to find anything.
All pointers gratefully received.
