Oh dear, there is an obvious flaw in the system when considering the operation in wintery conditions and the design team need to be made aware that ski shoes are going to be essential for Fun Police who could flop this 'wonderful creation of pilot's minds' into deep snow and spill his coffee and get his doughnuts damp.
So yet another 'must have' (snow pads) is added to the already comprehensive list of essential items. There is a fear that the likes of EC, Sikorsky, Agusta, Bell and MD are closely monitoring this site for inspiration.
