You read my mind.All this talk about three- minute- launches in twin/complex helicopters is a wee bit supicious.I currently fly a single but even that takes at least about two minutes to spool up and be ready to go.
Unless you are a military SAR/CG guy, there is no such thing as a "scramble".
Shawn, to answer your question, my company frowns upon running to the machine.Sometimes my med crew tend to do that and I use that as an opportunity to slow everybody down.
