Nope. Not a piece of cake for a complex task like the one performed by the helecopter. Hovering, from what I've been told, is a difficult skill to master when taking into account wind shifts, loading and unloading while hovering, etc.. Even if you do it for a living, it isn't easy.

I am a pilot but don't fly for a living and I don't fly helicopters, I fly a Mooney (mooney.com) . Proficiency is the key to performing any task in an aircraft. Flying is like playing a musical instrument...........requires concentration to know what you are doing and staying ahead of the airplane, however, flying is very unforgiving if you make a mistake.
