I understand your point but if you actually look at the video you will see that the aircraft is basically hover taxying. Given the nature of the work the organisation this aircraft supports does, do you not think there may be circumstances where insertion or extraction in similar conditions might be necessary, and that the time to become skilled/proficient is probably not at the moment it's required? Not arguing, just discussing.
