Great idea; the name isn't right in my context, but the method applies
very well. (It's the time by which the next flight command has to have
been given before we decide we're not flying any more. I plead that (a)
this logic seems not to be our Earth logic, (b) it's a translation from
someone's C, (c) the original code has a comment expressing doubt)
