I think I got it right..... I noticed that on the current VH-3D it is possible to see the main wheel on your side, which means that the two man crew can be very precise in planting these (as you confirmed from your Sea King experience). Once the S-92 takes over they will have a nosewheel type and to me it would appear to be more difficult to put the three gears on the discs without an additional line marking on the lawn. Just planting the nose gear on its disc but with a bit of yaw on will put the main gears off the circles.
