And I suppose the next question would be how long the gyros will continue to spin (at a speed which will enable the instruments to be useful) after the engine quits, if we take the worst case of a catastrophic failure which prevents the engine from windmilling? Or should you immediately assume they are unreliable, and switch to partial panel techniques (assuming we're in IMC)?
