Like SAS, it looked to me like this crew gave it a great try in really lousy weather, and used their heads doing it. Only question I had was technical, and about the AFCS configuration ( never having been in any of the modern AW machines ) and specifically: it seemed like they had basic pitch and roll attitude hold but heading hold was not a basic part of that mode and had to be engaged separately as an autopilot mode? Hence the right yaw when there was oodles of left pedal margin. Subject for after action discussion perhaps. The in cockpit display setup was impressive.
