I can fly safely up a river in an EC225, 4 axis coupled at 30 feet and 30 knots.

I can monitor progress up the river using the TAWS display validated by Radar.

I can control all flight capture parameters with one finger.

If I suffer a systems failure that requires an immediate landing, or at my destination, I can ditch or land in Zero/Zero conditions, in whiteout, brownout or blackout, fully coupled, all the way to touchdown.

I think I would fare a lot better than you in your helicopter with it "Broken Bottom"

After arriving, unless I can prove to my Company and the regulator that my Operational Flight Plan was IAW my OM requirements I would expect to be relieved of Command.
