Are some of the posters really trying to punt, that despite two licensed trained pilots in a third generation cockpit, the answer lies in allowing the guy in the back to drive the helicopter by verbal commands to avoid, what was effectively a rock that had been in the same place for millions of years?

Despite RADAR, FLIR, MOVING MAP, FMS WAYPOINT, GPS SUPER ACCURACY, this crew flew into a 300 foot high rock in what was effectively, the middle of the Ocean. If the only way to stop tha happening is to have "A man in the back" god help us all!
