I thought very little was made of the error in the manufacturers manual regarding the length of time between engine flameouts. Stated as 4 mins, yet even with the supply tank contents as prescribed in ideal conditions, it was nearer 1 min 30, MAX. Manual has now been corrected, but if I had been over a city centre and that close to base, I know how I would have been thinking of using those 4 minutes ... And it doesn't involve an emergency landing in the city centre.
