[QUOTE=S76Heavy;9743102]Why would you come to a hover anyway except when already well within/over the aiming circle? I don't fly the S92, I fly something quite underpowered so we aim to fly Cat A to the deck. But not hitting solid objects takes preference over complying with the power requirements if we get it wrong.
With little or no wind we approach at as close to 90 degrees to the deck heading as we feel comfortable with. Either seat pilot is fully capable of landing the aircraft within limits. I'm very curious about the reasoning behind this approach.[/QUOTE
I just thought that must have been the plan as the aircraft appeared moving right into the camera frame.
We usually have the pilot with the best view of the helideck do the landing so in this case that would have been RHS.
I have no idea what the reasoning was in this case.
