The helicopter remained upright and the commander shut it down in the usual manner, except that he waited for the rotor blades to stop before turning off the electrics, as the rotor brake is inoperative without a weight-on-wheels signal from the landing gear squat switch.
Not sure I would have used the rotor brake in this instance (sitting on a pile of tyres,) but obviously it had no ill effects. Good job
