You will need to include the fixes that didn't appear in SOPS, such as freeing off the starter solenoid by whacking the nose 4" down from the captain's windscreen with the side of the fire axe and cleaning the crackers by firing a water fire extinguisher down the intake whilst spinning the starter with the LP & HP cocks off.
also the only way to put the tip covers on when you didn't have a landrover to stand on was to sit astride the tail facing backwards and turn the tailrotor blade by blade...

We also were in the habit of landing in a suitable field and switching the fuel computers off and back on again long before Microsoft was even formed!
