anybody knows how many minutes the aircraft remained in the floating attitude?

on the A320 AOM there are no clues for the probable floating time, and this number would be "nice to know" for all the bus-drivers.

from the picture i saw, the attitude is exactly the same estimated by airbus on the AOM (assuming there were no structural damages) and that gives an idea that the crew did an excellent job bringing the aircraft down fairly intact
