My question is, How can you fly night VFR 100nm offshore at night and navigate by visual reference to the horizon and comply with the nav tolerances?

Having acheived this remarkable feat, how do you attempt a night winch over water with no visual reference for hovering or without an auto hover?

I beleive the results speak for themselves. When you strap in to a ems/sar machine, the superman cape and hero stories stay behind, they don't go with you.

Glad everyones ok
