a question about temporal order

Hello everyone!

I'm wondering in what situation the following sentence below could be used.

I mean, I don't know whether the sentence could be used before the helicopter arrived or whether it should be used after the helicopter arrived in the spot.

The use of "when" makes me confused about the exact time.

If anyone can give me a hand, I would appreciate it.

Thanks a lot~!

We have a helicopter standing by when you're ready to go.

In a specific situation, the helicopter is already there, but generally it could be expressing a standard service.
