Reminds me of an Aberdeen 332L flying a scuddy non-precision to a beach airport that ended up in the water 10 years ago. Again curious on the training and SOP for the 92 in this situation, and if Bristow, CHC or even Cougar match up. We've spent over 20 years trying to figure out the best integration of autopilots in helicopters, it should be figured out now.
Autopilot likely is figured out. Weak point is usually the human interface.
