winching
my two cents,
assuming no vertical reference can be made,
Mountain SAR winching: I used 2 points while flying 412's and 139's winching people from cliff faces, one @ the rotor tip path intersection, one @2 o'clock down between the instrument panel and the door post. Eventually if winching above obstacles I normally pick up two references points down near the door post.
Sea SAR winching: flying the 139 my eyes go continuously through a 3 points scanning, one @ the white sea spray, one @ the vessel superstructure that moves up and down in relation the the fixed horizon, one @ the radalt.
Cheers
