When I first started flying, the 300 I flew was kept on a cart. Pretty good
sized one, too, but it was always a sweaty experience for me. I just
started working part time for a guy flying a 206 that is on a cart. Not
much room for error. Instead of hovering over it and setting it down, he
told me to just make a mini approach to it. When the tongue of the
cart appears in the right spot in the chin bubble, set it down. Works like
a charm every time. Even when the line guys put it downwind.

To the poster that called the accident pilot incompetent: Whenever
someone makes a mistake, are they incompetent? No, I would say that
makes them human. Careless, maybe, but not incompetent. Maybe the
pilot is incompetent, but I wouldn't say that from looking at that video.
I don't know the guy.
