Low fuel light

The POH says land immediately. If you left full fuel and the light comes on much earlier than it should, there might be a fuel leak. So you don't have the time left you would have according to the POH.

But saving the helicopter is very important (and passengers), in the case of a fuel leak it's not your fault, but just getting low on fuel is your error and your boss will fire you, not to mention the FAA, who will pull the ticket, if you crash it.
