Just to make sure the brain is engaged in the correct sense, may I suggest that you climb in the left hand door for anti-clockwise rotor systems and the right hand door for clockwise systems................ Just one thing left to check...... would that be anti-clockwise when viewed from above or below the rotor system???
Guess I'll just have to stick to the time trusted method - ask the co-pilot to do the first lift off and rest my feet gently on the pedals to follow through........
