How about a low level search for a MOB in a shipping lane?
Or just night training near busy shipping areas? This has been an issue and the day was saved by the Radop monitoring the radar from the door!
Or drum winching (grapnel for RN types) or night wets at night in a 5 kt tide going backwards to maintain station?
NRDK - so if you don't plot them how do you keep tabs on them? Ah yes the force Luke, that will keep your real-time picture updated - again a very safe SOP
Once the job is done it is hardly a problem to yaw in the hover for a blind arc clearance. What do you do if there are obstacles ahead and you need to turn during the trans up??? I know, turn less than 60 degrees - whereas with the SK you can see all around (once blind arc clearance complete) and know EXACTLY where all the radar contacts/land masses are.
Is TAWS cleared for IMC letdown use? It does not use radar, just GPS and any plot slippage won't be evident. A moving map display is also GPS based and, over the sea, just gives you a big black space, cluttered with symbology - very useful.
