Ensuring Safety Around Helicopters
Summary
Understanding helicopter safety is crucial, whether you're a first-timer or experienced. Being aware can significantly impact your safety.Key Safety Tips
Approaching the Helicopter
For many, especially newcomers, the sound of the rotor can be both intimidating and exciting, leading to distractions. It’s vital to know how to approach a helicopter safely.- Stay Calm and Aware: Always stay focused on your surroundings. Approach only when the pilot signals it's safe to do so. Approach from the side or front where the pilot can see you.
- Head Down: Keep your head low to avoid the fast-moving rotor, which can cause severe injury. Secure loose items like hats and hold long objects horizontally to avoid hitting the rotor.
- Uneven Ground: Always approach from the downhill side to prevent any risk of the rotor hitting you.
While in the Helicopter
Like boarding a plane, following strict safety rules is essential for a safe journey. Safety starts with how you open and close the door.- Handle Doors Gently: Helicopters are made from light materials, so open and close doors slowly and carefully.
- Wear Your Seatbelt: Always buckle up and follow the pilot’s instructions. They understand the aircraft better than anyone.
Departing the Helicopter
Leaving the helicopter is as important as approaching it. Adhere strictly to safety protocols.- Wait for the Signal: Only depart when the pilot gives you the go-ahead. Ignoring this can have serious consequences.
- Downhill Departure: On uneven ground, disembark from the downhill side to avoid the rotor blade.
- Keep Your Head Down: Maintain a low profile until you are safely away from the rotor.
