I might have missed something here but I fail to see the difference between getting out at the Pole to take a piccy and getting out to protect the pax, as long as the aircraft is secure collective locked down etc it aint going no where. even in strong winds,- the only aircraft I wont leave is a lama. why is it not safe to leave an aircraft running to take a leak, refuel or eat lunch , even tried doing all 3 at once , the biggest danger is keeping an eye on people around the helicopter when on the ground and the best place to do that is from the outside.
