Dangerous?
"ask them to now go back and record footage with full power removal. I reckon things may be slightly different. You only need to see the blades at the landing to know they are still under power. Not realistic im afraid. If an engine stops, it stops, which was what was being discussed. (if the engine quits) NOT loses power, allowing a partial power auto."
This looked pretty genuine to me..the needles were split all the way down so no help from the engine even when he pulled collective at the bottom. However, he was pretty light, just him and a fixed camera.
However in answer to your question - I reckon a lot more dangerous than A to B charter, but also probably much better paid and at least for a while, more fun! Stay alert, do try to pickle the line off and don't land on your load!
