Geoffers mentions good SAR crewmen. In my first month of SAR command, (Mallardpi; on the Wessex, where you had command after 0 months SAR experience!) I was out in the bay with just the MALM winchie on board, practising drum circuits.
During each circuits he looked up from the cabin to check my accuracy. He was not happy and told me so; I wasn't nailing the figures (60kt, 150ft) to his satisfaction!
I made some comment about who was captain.
I was 'requested' to leave the drum (our winching target) to fly an orbit at 500ft.
Winchie climbed up into LHS. He asked me to reposition in the hover with the drum just visible in front of us.
He requested control and held a rock steady hover. He suggested I called the clock codes on the drum during a standard circuit. He then flew a totally accurate circuit back to the hover.
We climbed up to 500ft, he returned to the cabin and we then descended to the drum to continue with my practice.
