bering
Not in 50 metres visibilty they don't. That's well below any current north sea company take-off minima.
But we do if you think about it. On a dark night pointing away from any rig structure in your peripheral vision and no other boat/rig ahead of you what do you think your visibility is? You are doing a full instrument takeoff. The only advantage you have is there are no obstructions directly ahead of you.
