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
