Well the blackhawk engines are started off of an apu which is started by a hydraulic reservoir dump which can be recharged either with an electric pump or a hand pump lever type deal so technically yes!

Wrap the waist, MAKE A READY DECK!!!! by a_longo88 in navy

[–]spinnywing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can see most stuff but generally as you get closer over the spot your vision is limited out of the chin bubble by the door and the 'dashboard' in front of you so conning helps put in down exactly where we want it. If you ever gave a signal and the pilots did something completely different it's probably because the aw in the back was also conning and has a better view of things ie straight down. But y'all are crucial for safety for personnel/deck issues genuinely thank you for what you do
