Funny story in Canada years ago:
A 212 with a belly tank is loading at a hot and high pond.
Just about to depart when one donkey quits. Down he goes from a 10 foot hover. Fortunately the water is shallow so he comes to rest upright with water up to the cabin deck.
Our hero wades to shore through water and loon sh#t.
Transport Canada is in the area and proceeds to the scene.
Pilot is in the kitchen of a nearby camp.
Transport Canada: “Captain, when the #2 engine failed did you secure the engine in accordance with the Bell 212 engine failure procedures and checklist?”
Pilot: “ Let me explain one more time! ‘BANG! SPLASH!’ any further questions?
