Ask the authorities to allow more use of simple helicopters, less to go wrong and less for the pilot to have to work out under stress.

eg, single engine and single fuel tank and allow auto pilot use on them.

That way pilot does not shut down the wrong engine, select the wrong fuel tank switch or have to see in the cloud because the auto pilot could take over.

Unfortunately the authorities over regulate and think they know better mandating over complicated machines in the name of safety.
