It would appear that somehow the institutionalised military, stuck in the mud RAF SAR Force, have somehow managed to achieve what 26500lbs has advocated as the ideal -

Our simulator training is provided by a 3rd party (Thales) who employ ex-mil instructors (not all of whom have SAR Sea King experience operationally) - there are close links between the OCU, the 2 Sqn training teams and SAR Standards to ensure that what is taught is what is required and is kept up to date and relevant to the operational requirements.

Who would have thought? Oh let me guess, the answer is that we have a limitless bucket of money to throw at it - nothing could be further from the truth.

How very logical to correlate concern for passengers' feeling with crashing into the sea!
no, your implication was that NS flying techniques are dictated by the need for passenger comfort - the technique of flying in a mixed-mode because you prefer small cyclic changes to collective changes, clearly didn't achieve passenger comfort and confidence in this sad case.
