I know it’s not unique it’s the first one that came to mind as it’s the last visual I did.

I guess that’s your opinion, personally I don’t find it any different to flying a cessna or a helicopter for that matter, maybe I’m doing it wrong. You make a good point, procedures/requirements vary from operator to operator.
