How can it be called a landing when it wouldn't have been able to switch off,

Isn't a landing defined as "the act of coming down to the earth (or other surface)"

Would have been interesting if she wouldn't start-up!! So perhaps a wise move not to!

Spin the blades, push it down the slope, 007 style, and do a world record auto!

Wasn't permission to attempt a landing with a British Army Gazelle on the top of Everest, a few years ago, refused somewhere along the official line?
