As a civvy who regulary flies in mil helos, that's a great reminder to teke note of the brief.

I have one question.

It sounds like the engines are cut as the helo lands back on. Everyone exits the helo as the rotors are powering down.

I've always been taught NEVER to do this and indeed got an entirely deserved Bo****king for trying to do it once on a helo. A lesson I remember every time I fly.

I'm guessing it's the lesser of two evils - fire or flying rotor blades.

I would however like to know what the correct procedure is for exiting a helo in these circumstances.
