Wow,

"..at the worst can be flown..." ? WTF DUDE!. Are you crazy?

I don't want to be harsh, but if you do have a hot start call a factory
authorized repair station for your engine or aircraft (in this case Rolls
Royce / Bell) and follow THEIR advice. DO NOT FLY YOUR MACHINE unless you
get sage wisdom and authorization from one of these.

He must be very new to turbines. Had to be more than a hot start, must
have been a fire. Hot start usually would just require inspection of the
burner can. Removing can and power turbine would probably be something a
mechanic could do on site in a few hours and ship to facilitate the
inspection. Moving the complete helicopter is a waste unless being
returned to seller as a warranty return. A simple hot start only requires
a flight test procedure and at the worst can be flown to a repair facility
with in reasonable distance.
