F...n madness
some machines can fly even at ground idle & if she starts to play up & wanna start to fly....oooooooow scary
remember 'Hog' -'get away from that thing, after he wrote that H269 off & miraclualusly not himself
As the addidge goes; anyone with the correct amount of training can do it, including Pilot's. Hence if an Engineer is also PPL(H) or higher, then of course they should & can safely start that fling wing contraption
Happy Landings
