Safety Guidelines

1. Allow Sufficient Landing Space: When bringing the helicopter from the air to the ground, ensure an appropriate amount of space is available for landing. Avoid rushing and maintain ample distance from both the chopper and its rotor blades.

2. Approach from the Front: When entering or exiting the helicopter, always approach from the front to ensure that the pilot has a clear view of your presence. This helps maintain visibility and enhances overall safety.

3. Receive Briefing from the Pilot: The pilot will provide you with essential information regarding safety rules and regulations. Pay close attention to the briefing and adhere to the instructions given.

4. Follow Pilot's Signal: Prior to entering or exiting the aircraft, wait for the pilot's signal or instruction. This ensures that the appropriate conditions are met and minimizes any potential risks.

5. Maintain a Low Crouch: When the helicopter is in close proximity, walk in a low crouch position. This posture helps to reduce the risk of injury from rotor blades or other potential hazards.

6. Mind Your Headgear: Avoid wearing any headgear, such as caps or hats, that extends above your eye level. Strong air currents generated by the helicopter can easily blow away loose items. If your headgear is displaced, do not attempt to retrieve it.

7. Wear Safety Equipment: Always wear your seat belt and headset while on board the helicopter. These safety measures are crucial for your protection and ensure effective communication with the pilot throughout the flight.
