Yes, unfortunately, that is another common misunderstanding of the capability of a helicopter.
A few years ago I had cause to write an article outlining what could and couldn't be done with the machine I was flying. The passengers / PAs had some totally false ideas.
Also other things such as:
"We need to fly three more passengers than we originally said, so you'll just have to put some more fuel in before you go".
"What do you mean the aircraft is still on maintenance? They've had it for a day already. Tell the garage we now need to fly it this afternoon and just to do the oil change for now; we'll have the rest done another day when we don't need to use it!"
(This was the aircraft annual inspection....)
