Did they maintain altitude awareness by means of crew callouts?
Did they fly a safe altitude until "looking down" on the intended landing spot and seeing light separation prior to descending below that safe height?
We flew single pilot on the North Sea for years without a RadAlt...that was a Norwegian thing and not a UK idea until much later. We did have two BarAlts however(three if you count the one you could not reach), which I know made the Nordic rascals green with envy.
It does get a wee bit dark offshore at 85 miles....even in the GOM.
