Entering autos: discussion split from Glasgow crash thread

Waiting 2 secs before reacting is a certification criteria. Look it up.

RotorIP, Do you have a different reference? No time stated in FAR Parts 27/29. However, AC27-1 states:
“The knee of the curve separates the takeoff portion from the cruise portion and is defined as the highest speed point on the low speed portion of the HV envelope. Altitudes above this point are considered cruise, or “fly-in,” points, and these test points require a minimum time delay of 1 second between throttle chop and control actuation (reference § 27.143(d)). Altitudes below the knee represent takeoff profile points. For test points in the takeoff portion, takeoff power (or a lower power selected by the applicant as an operating procedure) and normal pilot reaction time for corrective control actuation will be used.”
