But isnt it usual to have a kind of DeckLandingOfficer with handsignals in front of the helicopter? In this video he might be standing outside of view from the camera?
Also the solution with sandbags would be a little bit difficult onboard a ship....
I remember a vid ( Florida? ) with a small airplane and one stuck main gear. They solved the problem from a pickup driving down the runway and a mechanic fixed it from there during the short lowlevel flight...
