Nobody should enter the area covered by the main rotor disc without your permission (indicated by "thumbs up" during the day, or a flash of the landing light by night). Movement in and out of it should be to the front or at 45o to the longitudinal axis, ensuring that all movement is within your field of vision. Additionally, no movement should be allowed during startup or rundown (due to blade sailing) and nobody should approach the rear of a helicopter AT ANY TIME (unless it's a Chinook). You can help by landing so that passengers have no choice but to go forward, but watch the doors aren't forced against their stops if the wind is behind you. Tip: Do not reduce the throttle to ground idle when passengers are getting in and out, so when one of them decides to run round the back (they will), you can lift into the hover to move the tail rotor out of the way. Transistor radios, tape recorders and the like should not be operated in flight as they may interfere with navigation equipment. If you don't believe me, tune to an AM station, as used by ADF, on a cheap radio and switch on an even cheaper calculator nearby—you will find the radio is blanked out by white noise. In fact, the radiations from TVs and radios (yes, they do transmit – how do you think the TV detector people find you?) come within the VOR and ILS regions as well. Cellular phones are dodgy, too, but when you're flying, you log on to more than one cell, which screws up the system. Anyway, you, as commander, are responsible for ensuring that all passengers are briefed properly, or have relevant equipment demonstrated. Where you work with regular passengers, say in a corporate environment, you can probably do away with a briefing for every single flight, and just use a briefing card as a reminder. On the other hand, in a remote bush camp, for example, you could get everyone together (including the cook) and do them all in one go, once a week. Naturally, some will complain that they don’t need to do it then, but you could explain to them that the only way out at the end of their tour is by helicopter, and a briefing at that point will take more time, which is just what they need when they have a scheduled flight to catch. Use this checklist as a reminder that you’ve covered everything: . Your authority as Commander. .
