HD, imagine doing Air Deps in marginal weather; SVFR is waiting and waiting for you to get Helimed visual.
Equipped with binoculars, you strain to determine where Helimed would be out of the window. You look at the ATM, then back to the window, then back to the ATM, then back to the window. You spend 10, 20 seconds to just spot it, and inform SVFR. It comes over to you, but you need to spend an unequal amount of time keeping it visual, more than you need to because it would take precious seconds to re-acquire it visually if you loose it.
Now imagine that there's a box drawn on the window, around Helimed, telling you exactly where it is, so you don't have to spend any time at tracking it unaided. Just the odd quick glance and you know exactly where it is.
Is that not a benefit?
