Lol. Helicopters are not 747s. They operate very locally and do things that are not as generic as approaching SFO in marginal weather. A helicopter has to change its operations in reaction not to measured weather, but to the specifics of individual trees. Show me a computer that can take the input: "That tree looks like it is about to fall over" and decide whether to continue a rescue or give up and negotiate a new approach. SAR pilots do that daily.
