Turkey,
You don't mention it but as per crabs post you definately should have some form of auto hover for night wets.
You also mention benign conditions. Not sure what this refers to but if you talk of weather and sea state contitions don't assume that calm seas will make it any easier. In fact a flat calm, dark night with downwash directly below you, loads of recirculation and nothing to look at is pretty tricky as far as flying goes. Making matters worse (depending on equippment) even the auto hover can struggle in those conditions.
