Havent read the report but, before a student can go solo he has to pass a medical, this becomes his provisional licence. this must be carried with him when he goes solo ( like we have to carry our licences ). Thus he is allowed to start the helicopter solo. If this was not the case how the hell would he do his qualifying x country with two land aways at different airfields !!!!!!Or are we saying he should leave it running and go and get his certificate signed by ATC
