Going slower, you obviously have more time to see a light in marginal conditions on the approach. Rather do 80kts in a helicopter than 155kts in a Lightning.
Far East Driver, today we can't open the window as the flight manual prohibits it, well in a 76 or 92, unless you can lock the stupid little window open (and most people don't have the lock).
Also the days of hearing what the aircraft is doing? Forget it, we are now in an airline type cockpit with most of the noise coming from air cooling fans for the electronics and EFIS.
