Which helicopter readiness condition corresponds to immediate launch readiness with rotor blades spread and personnel ready?

Readiness states measure how quickly a helicopter can launch, based on rotor blade configuration and crew readiness. When rotor blades are spread and the crew is already in position and ready to go, the aircraft can lift off almost immediately. This combination represents the highest level of immediate launch readiness, which is Condition I paired with Alert 5. The blades being spread means no unfolding is needed, and the crew being ready means preflight tasks are complete, enabling rapid departure. Other pairings imply some step still required—like blades needing to be spread or preflight actions completed, or more time before launch—so they aren’t as ready for immediate takeoff.
