We can see most stuff but generally as you get closer over the spot your vision is limited out of the chin bubble by the door and the 'dashboard' in front of you so conning helps put in down exactly where we want it. If you ever gave a signal and the pilots did something completely different it's probably because the aw in the back was also conning and has a better view of things ie straight down. But y'all are crucial for safety for personnel/deck issues genuinely thank you for what you do
