Okay, s p e a k i n g v e r y s l o w l y s o I d o n o t m a k e t h e c o n f u s i o n w o r s e . . . .
The built-in failsafe in the SimJet ECU will trigger after a 0.5 second loss of signal or sufficintly garbled signal. Like Matt and most others in North America I've never flown turbine powered aircraft on PPM, however I was trying to ensure that all the relevant infomation was presented. (Incidentally, I understand PPM is the preferred system to fly with in Europe. If any of our European friends have any opinion to voice on this please PM me as I'd like to know...)
On the subject of PCM, assuming the end user has set their radio system to command shut-down on entry into fail-safe, the SimJet ECU will give you 0.5 seconds to recover from fail-safe after which it will shut you down. While this time period is not adjustable by the end user, if anyone REALLY wants it altered I have the power to do so.
The RAM/FTE remote start ECU is the same, only the time period is 1.0 second. The manufacturer is looking into a software upgrade to allow the user to select a time.
