5 minutes to launch

I can agree to launching within 5 minutes.... from my chair.

So many variables can go into the launch time goals....

VFR v IFR

No towered v towered airport or remote heliport

Single v Twin

Hangared v No Hangar.

Common sense tells me that each base should have target lift times based on local factors.
