Well then I hope we can agree to disagree. To me, if there is ANY window to shutdown the turbine before a crash, it should be used and not delayed no matter what.

Since it is a bit confusing about what the different manufacturers do, I will spell it out for the JetCat system:

1.) On an PILTO SELECTED EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN, there is NO DELAY. The turbine is shutdown INSTANTLY (within the normal milliseconds of delay of a typical radio system has for any command)

2.) On a "RADIO FAILSAFE SHUTDOWN" the turbine shutdown delay can be programmed from .1 seconds to 3 seconds (actually more) but basically programmed to anything you want. This delay is completely independant of the delay associated with the radio mentioned in number 1.)

It is my intention to spell this out completely to the TRC and the AMA, and let them make the decisions based on accurate data.
