This is very difficult, because the driver can't see the person being rescued directly below, and can only keep fine-tuning through communication, instrumentation and experience with the crew members, and keep it as stable as possible. " The pilot said that in the case of strong wind and heavy rain, the sight distance will be affected, and it will be more difficult to maintain the attitude of the aircraft.
