In my day as a military/some civil TP the conditions to be observed in determining both Vmcs included a delay of 2 seconds before taking corrective action following an engine failure. This often was enough to result in an exciting ride as things could be quite pear shaped after 2 seconds. The time delay was supposed to cater for the pilot in the system having the slowest reaction time.

Is the 2 seconds still part of the requirement in determining Vmca/g and if not, then why not?
