TM- when you write a set of guidelines, there is always someone who will read them for any possible perceived 'holes'. I believe you should read the manual for 'how would a reasonable person interpret this?'. I think you are being pedantic in the extreme trying to find a hole here. The aim of the game is to get down to idle reverse power translating to forward idle by 20kts. If you have a 60 kt headwind, why would you require to hold reverse power? In fact you would still be OK with reverse power on almost stationary in a 60kt hw component.....but why? In an emergency situation throw the rulebook away, but unless we want a rulebook too heavy to carry, we must accept the guidance in the spirit given, and this smacks of looking for pernickety holes that really aren't there.

In other words, a total waste of time.
