I hope your experience with the dentist is as good as mine was on Tuesday, Lister! I hadn't seen a civilian dentist for over 40 years - and had never ever had any form of anaesthetic for a filling. The dentist was superb and I never felt a thing!
Pace, the issue is gust response and has nothing to do with engine response time. If Lister flies the way he's described, he will spot any wind shear immediately it occurs and will be able to correct instinctively - that's one of the many benefits of the point-and-power approach technique. Don't worry about the cause - just treat the effect!
25 gusting 50? No thanks! 20 gusting 30 - yes.
