A low hour VFR pilot in the co-pilot's seat of a SPIFR machine is a sensible compromise. It takes a lot of pressure off the captain by helping out on the non-critical nif naf associated with helicopter operations. Passenger handling, Jepp updates, flight planning and ops etc etc... In return the co-pilot has a great chance to build hours in a complex machine under the supervision of an experienced Captain. It should happen more!
