kicking out in flight R44
Did you mean to say kicking IN in flight?

Don't know if it can happen in R44's, as the starter circuit usually would not be interfered with unless it was a wiring problem, but it certainly can in "47's. If you get to talk to an old '47 engineer you you will hear about what sort of 'violent' indications that you will get if you dared touch the red button during flight.

For that reasonn we had as SOP's to pull the starter circuit breaker after start for all newbies.
