How do you exit a helicopter?

Exiting the helicopter - Do not remove your seatbelt until your pilot instructs you to do so or a designated person has opened the door and motioned you to exit. Be sure you put your hat and gloves on before you exit. Loosely fitting hats should be stored in a pocket. Hang on tightly to any personal items.

It is good practice to crouch while exiting the helicopter if the rotors are turning. Many helicopter rotor systems can dip well below 6 feet from the ground level, which can potentially contact a person or object on the ground.
