HMMMMMMM It is prohibited to fly the 44 with the hydraulics off apart from the training to do so in an emergency. Sure if you bump it off at 2000 ft you realise and switch it back on but say you bump it off just before you land or just before you lift into the hover(despite being one of the things you should check) it could be a different story. I have only flown with it off when doing my refresher training and therefore would see no reason for it to be mounted somewhere else and for the instructor to "pull the breaker" or whatever other switching device was introduced. I have personally never bumped mine off, so I've no axe to grind, just think it would be better elsewhere.
