The question to ask is current in the task to be undertaken in that particular aircraft. For the role when Gulli and I flew together in the 76 it was day VMC, pax, sling loads and winching only. Flying at night or any IMC was a no, no, they had to be crewed by two captains, which brings a whole new set of problems too lengthy to go into here.
