Can anything be done to increase the number of seconds between the time the controller gives you a heading / altitude change and then calls you back to yell at you before you can begin the actual descent/new heading? http://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg :-spacecraft

if you have pilot auto-reply set, you have about 30 seconds to do as directed.if pilot-auto-reply is not set, then you have about 30 seconds to responds to the directive. make sure you are complying with the directions when you replyjd
