I address this question to the "Knee Dancing Champion of Alaska"......wonder how we got along all those years....hand pumping fuel...rotors running....hooking up our own sling loads ...rotors turning.....rigging a load...and hooking it up...rotors turning....making yellow test bores in the snow....rotors turning.....checking the gill net.....rotors turning....oops...scratch the gill net...honest we just thought about it! Sure glad the "Rules Nannies" had not caught up with yet.....sheesh!
I guess no one else ever flew in remote sites with a dodgy battery or starter or both.....and never shutdown until back at some safe place but still managed to fuel, load, etc....and did it safely....and without comment or concern.
