We had a 212 in Rwanda depart a very unfriendly location on one engine….the start checklist was considerably abbreviated and collective was moving up as throttle was rolled through idle to open. Fortunately they were parked on a hillside with considerable dropdown available. Second engine was started in the air. Nothing like sustained automatic weapons fire to focus the mind. Fortunately just 2 crew and light on fuel.
