Oooow those of little knowledge........................are bloody dangerous
Exiting whilst turning & burning is an approved SOP in the Ops Man in many Countries, including the extended Himalayas. It reduces time on the ground
Increases the urgency to GO for those on-ground
Did You notice the weather coming in on the Video? Doooh
by the way that is not Mera but Khote village H
Have You CA2 ever tried starting a machine above 20,000' &/or below zero with any serious altitude?
CA2 I sure as shiiit wouldn't wanna be learning from You as my instructor as there ain't much in your 'bag of wisdom'
next time You land on a remote pinnacle with weather rolling in & a MedEvac Rescue to do; by all means shut down, light up a fag, order a cuppa tea & see the beauty of the clouds roll in as Your Patient dies gagging, drowning in their own blood from Altitude-Sickness
CA2 please try & think outside the box Mate & find out the right reasons things are being done the way they are........after over 29 years of flying, 10 years in the Mountains; exiting whilst Rotors-Running well over 6,000 times has served me a great benefit in getting the job done safely & expeditiously
(note: without incident, not once)
If the correct procedure is applied, this operation is SAFE
1. after landing still at flight idle, prove the round is stable, giving the Cyclic & Pedals a good stir & dance
2. throttle to ground idle, collective locked, frictions on, hydraulics off (350 series)
3. get out, close Your door, do the job fast & fly away
Happy Landings & never loose ETL unless Your slinging, aerial working, or on short final to land
