Flying SAR in pretty basic "phase four" 139 models (No AC, no auto hover, short nose, etc) off Africa's East Coast, we often had an OEI flyaway capability or even OEI hover if the winds were there and roughly an hour to an hour and a half fuel remaining. Obviously it was quite warm. We'd never put a guy out on the line for training without OEI hover capability.
