count it down, one hundred and one - one hundred ------ etc. my ab-initio instructor sorted me on that point, for sure.
all others cop it from there.
You're quite right... the way I wrote it was open to a lot of misinterpretation though I didn't intend that. What I
meant was that from the time the engine quits at 50'
until the time you are on the ground will be 8-10s. I should have been clearer.
No matter how quick you are, your reaction time won't be any faster than 1s, 2s is what you need to have, so not a lot of margin for error.
