@120rorque - understanding your helicopter, you can always make a captains decision.
As long as you understand what’s going on, no harm switching the EmerShed in advance after an engine failure, especially at night.
@crab - I ˋ m not that easily destroyed ��
You ˋre absolutely right, without a plan B while entering a night hover even without pushing fuel, a night autorotation from something between 1.000 to 1.500 feet ground is a sporty excercise, not leaving time to operate a switch in the overhead panel.
With about 1.300 hrs at night so far, with lots of hovering, I check on every mission area, where I can put the bird on the ground, in case things go havoc, even if the risk of a double engine failure isnˋt that great, I just like to know the options...
