Makes me wonder if the engine was overtemped and if the owner will try to bill the dad.

Not sure on the 145 if the battery is easily accessible or has a quick disconnect.  It predecessor, the MBB-BK-117, had a flip down door for shore power, GPU, etc, but I don't know about the battery.

I worked that job for 10 yrs in a LongRanger, and we never disconnected the battery on PRs.  We stayed with the aircraft and didn't let people sit in it without supervision.  Either way, for the first 4-5 yrs, our helicopter had screws on the battery door vs. the DZUS fasteners.

In B-17's you have to rope off the pilot and co-pilot seats where all the switches are when doing tours. People will still reach over and "coon-finger" stuff.

DO NOT turn on batteries without checking every switch and lever or something like all the fire bottles will discharge
