When it comes to a dark night, in 8/8ths of s*%t and things go wrong, I'd certainly prefer a guy that has the scan and skill to keep the thing upright rather than the skill in precision winch hook placement. Sounds like the EMQ guys can do both.....nice to have.
P.S. Torquer - I believe (not sure) that the single pilot cert will be based on altitude eg no NVD SP ops below 1000 ft? Also I've heard that having a crewy in the front on gogs will satisfy requirement for lower level single pilot gog.......I maybe wrong.
