Not a fan.
I know! Definitely a bad idea 🤣
Just training my autorotation landing 😎
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
Yeah cuz a helicopter rotor has a big fucking on off switch
hey bro, its kind of a joke
He's also just incorrect, there are multiple ways to kill an engine on an aircraft.
It does - the magnetos can be turned off (usually like turning a key in a car), which will immediately stop the engine from firing.
I mean, I felt it went without saying but apparently that guy thought helicopters were constantly running just waiting to go.
That's assuming a chopper with a piston engine, right? I'm pretty sure most helicopters today have turboshaft engines, they'll run as long as there's fuel and air.
Maybe he's the pilot
I mean... yeah? There is definitely a switch that initiates rotation through ground power or APU and then fuel is introduced at the appropriate limit. Fuel can be removed and/or the electrical power that ignites the fuel can be switched off as well.
So there's actually multiple switches capable of turning off the engines.
