      He’s also just incorrect, there are multiple ways to kill an engine on an aircraft.

    It does - the magnetos can be turned off (usually like turning a key in a car), which will immediately stop the engine from firing.

      I mean, I felt it went without saying but apparently that guy thought helicopters were constantly running just waiting to go.

      That’s assuming a chopper with a piston engine, right? I’m pretty sure most helicopters today have turboshaft engines, they’ll run as long as there’s fuel and air.

    I mean… yeah? There is definitely a switch that initiates rotation through ground power or APU and then fuel is introduced at the appropriate limit. Fuel can be removed and/or the electrical power that ignites the fuel can be switched off as well.

    So there’s actually multiple switches capable of turning off the engines.
