What a great littlle self help article
There are some gems there, but in Section 1 they missed out,
"If the pilots seat belt isn't too tight - and you think they are dead - try opening the door and pushing the bugger out -
the weight saved by doing so will give you extra time to figure out what to do next..."
Most of the procedure for gaining control of the helicopter is obviously quite simple,
and is something that your average tourist can easily manage,
because not until Section 5 is it ,
time to get serious.
Para 3 in Section 5 reminds you to check
that any carry-on items are stowed securely
but then Para 6. of the same section discusses
... wrestling a greased pig all the way down
Would that be a fare paying passenger or a carry on item ?
Helicopters are pretty tough, and it's not yours anyway, so don't worry about roughing it up
After landing : (
)
Don't move the wounded/dead pilot until paramedics arrive.
( ... assuming you didn't already push them out ...... it's probably OK to punch him or her though - maybe once or even twice if no-one is looking ).
and finally :
If your helicopter is on fire after landing you may
MAY ???
want to exit the helicopter before everything stops moving, and pull the disabled pilot out.
.... who will definitiely be unconcious if you got the punches right.
Take a moment to reflect on why you went on a pleasure flight with a disabled pilot in the first place
Just be very careful around the rotor blades. Without you holding the controls steady it can very easily flap around low enough to cut your torso in half.
This will definitely spoil your day and ruin any chance of getting a refund
