As it happens, all the 212s at Aerogulf have either a SCAS or a Sperry or Bell autopilot, except perhaps LX, but that's not used at night anyway. Night flying is done with 2 pilots as well, and the machines are fully IFR equipped - luxury!

Not sure that a machine with no CVR and FDR is necessarily low spec in view of the above.
