Robinson Helicopter Company
Safety Notice SN-40
Issued: Jul 2006
POSTCRASH FIRES
There have been a number of cases where helicopter or light plane occupants have survived an accident only to be severely burned by fire following the accident. To reduce the risk of injury in a postcrash fire, it is strongly recommended that a fire-retardant Nomex flight suit, gloves, and hood or helmet be worn by all occupants.
Another reassuring notice how safe robbies are (I guess after you lost your main rotor in flight you won't need a nomex suit :E), or at least how eager somebody tries to cover his a**.
No intention to open a whole new can of worms...

I probably would try to land too if I only suspect a fire.
