Aussiecop,
are you suggesting that other manufacturers designs will hover politely if the pilot is stupid enough to get out of them while the a/c is at full throttle and no frictions/locks applied to the controls?
this is not the aircraft's fault. and who does a "fluid level check" on a running helicopter? it must mean something else...
A of F; there is no problem with shutting down at remote locations in a 350. cool downs are 30 seconds, however i have exited an idling helicopter with frictions and locks applied. i would never do it without rolling the throttle to idle (B3) or retarding the fuel flow lever to an idle speed of 67-70% (B2) and locking the collective in the full down position.
