Default Boarding with engines running

Hi,

Is it safe/advisable to board a small single- or twin-engined aircraft while
the prop(s) and engine(s) are turning? I'm just wondering if this is feasible
if you just have someone getting on or getting off (with the pilot being in
the aircraft the whole time).


We used to board the Islander at NWPC Cark while the pilot was running the
engines up. Bit scary the first few times
