London's Air Ambulance taking off from the British Museum

[pastaman69]

@neveneffect1 - the second pilot is monitoring each of the 2 engines start, watching for signs of smoke, fire or anything else unusual during the start up. Although the pilot does have instruments that should alert him to a potential problem, It's just an extra safety measure as neither the engines nor exhausts can be seen from inside the cockpit. (He's also keeping an eye out for anyone who might be silly enough to wander up behind the aircraft during the start!)

Answer your question?...

Great one.. (like always)! Thanks for uploading

[neveneffect1]

why is there always a crewmember standing outside before the helicopter takes off?

Great video! In the title or tag you can add HEMS which is the organisation.
