I was led to believe that the SAR S-92 has a Mark on Target Approach so the SAR AFCS should bring you into a 50 ft hover 150 ft downwind and to the left of your target.

Although you will lose the target in the turn, the FLIR can be locked on to the target and should I believe display on any of the MFD’s and cabin consul operators station.

Out of interest, I am also told that the hoist operator’s pendant will also have the ability to slew the aircraft on a dual lat/long axis 3 feet at a time, giving those in the cockpit a chance to brush up on there uckers.
