Re: Armstrong Powerhouse Class 356 Alarms
Interesting problem or issue. I have never come upon any real Traction that only allows a 2 second Driver response time to cancel AWS/TPWS. Hovering a Finger over the AWS Button would be considered as bad driving practice as it is possible to fall foul of repetitive cancelling. The standard for AWS is 2 to 3 seconds minimum AFTER the AWS has sounded to cancel. Maybe extending in the sim would be better?

Re: Armstrong Powerhouse Class 356 Alarms
My understanding is that the default time you get in the sim to cancel the AWS is 4 seconds from the time the alarm is triggered - which is actually longer than it sounds! (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi etc.!) Some of the AP packs introduce a delay in the sounding of the audio alarm (but not the visual "sunflower" alert) of approx. 1 second, which still leaves 3 seconds to cancel the alert.
