That's it for CAA, does that mean then, if one pilot exit the aircraft while idling to help out with the pax it would be an illegal action and to a point being considered a dangerous move?
Assuming that the information you have given is the full story; If the pilot at the controls took off solo, then it would be. However, that pilot would be there to prevent the aircraft becoming airborne without the 'legal minimum flight crew'.
I refer to my previous post;
"For a two-pilot helicopter, CAR 225 allows one pilot to leave the aircraft while it is still running, as long as the other pilot remains at the controls. However, for single-pilot operation the pilot can only leave the helicopter for the safety of the helicopter, or people on or near the helicopter."
When the pilot jumped out the aircraft was not airborne.
Which makes it clear that he didn't ensure that the aircraft couldn't become airborne without the 'legal minimum flight crew'.
