We are transitting back to base, I say we, you are the handling pilot and I'm sat next to you. I develop a very sudden and massive panic attack, (never had one before, no idea why it's happening, could be stress, but there you go, it's happening). All I know is, I want this flight to end now and I want to be back on the ground right now.
In my blind panic to get back on the ground, I reach over and flick the engine switches to off. Immediately followed by pulling the rotor brake on. My actions are irrational, but thats a panic attack for you.
As soon as you try to correct either the eng switches or the R/B, I push down on the collective to speed up my return to the percieved safety of the ground.
Anyone touching my engine switches, or any other switches for that matter without my say so would rapidly receive a knuckle sandwhich style reminder of their error of their ways.
Its all getting a bit tedious again
