With all due respect...I do not agree with you Corsair...."Reckless!?" I don't see any issue here at all as the 350 has both Cyclic and Collective frictions and locks.
I have done it a thousand times myself in a previous life ,as have many others here on this forum.
I always have remained within the immediate vicinity of the machine to load pax / freight in a remote area which the regs and company SOP'S allow us to do.......different story if you left the machine and strolled away a few hundred metres for a pee or a smoke.
