As a pilot I am interested in what density of ash can bring my aircraft down. I am sorry but a few thimblefuls in an area the size of a four bedroom house won't do it.
Well I make each thimblefull equal to of the order of 10Kg per hour through each typical engine. But it's interesting to know, that you, as a pilot, are comfortable with that.
