Just to throw a spanner in the works...
What if you say "leaving" and do it within one minute Ronnie? Or commence the descent, then 50 secs later say "leaving"?
Don't the regs say that when instructed to climb or descend it must be initiated within one minute? Therefore you've got a minute up your sleeve from the moment you say you're leaving, the same way you have one minute from when you are instructed to leave. Or am I interpreting the regs a little loosely?
