Also, I understand that Sikorsky has successfully trialled a system they call Rig Approach which is with the FAA for certification.

It flies the aircraft fully coupled to an offset position at helideck height 50' and around 400m at 30 knots I think. If the pilot does nothing, the aircraft commences an automatic go around.It can be used day and night and in any weather.
