Leaving helicopter with engine/rotors running - merged threads
Hi gang,
I've personally witnessed many times where the pilot gets out of a running helicopter (ground idle, controls locked) to perform a necessary task on the ground. I've never done it myself, but I can envision a time when it might seem to be the best choice.
My question - what do all you pros think about the practice? Is it common in certain arenas (EMS, for instance)? I couldn't find a reg beyond 91.13 covering this.
