Not done it my self and unless my operator insists it will not be done I was at castle Air the other day and there is a lovely Agusta 109 in the back of the shed in bits pilot got out for a leak rotors running and well over she went
friend of mine In the services watched a puma go over as the pilot got out for a flask of tea
this little beastie rolled a fair old distance before finishing in a heap
(no not the done thing i think)
also sorry guys but the last few posts seem a little heavy if someone wants to get out of a helo rotors running let him do so but dont let him fly with me
I believe that when Ii was trained it was not and is not the correct thing to do, and if you get out for any reason rotors running you may be a hero at the time if all gos well but is the ship gos tits up then the first name that you will be called is ****. the second is legal help required for a ****
still not the done thing to many eyeballs of dented ships for my liking to do it
