Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes.On PC. Every SAR mission

Quick question: when you replay a SAR mission, will the person to be rescued appear in the same location, or is the position newly generated for each attempt at passing the mission?
Always the same place for me.
Thank you for the bug report.
We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.
Let us choose to land or perform a hoist depending on the circumstances. There are no hoist rescue missions over land at all despite what is shown in the trailers. Even the hoist endorsement is completed over land in mountainous terrain
Unfortunately, helicopter search and rescue missions cannot be completed. All search and rescue missions are buggy. You cannot approach the locations by helicopter. Dense wooded areas, with rocks. You cannot land by helicopter. It would be good if all search and rescue missions were reviewed by the development team.
They’re always in the same location
It’s almost as if they didn’t test anything…
PS: Asking a junior programmer if they “tested it” is not testing.
Just sayin’…from experience. 
If they say “yes” it usually just means it compiled ok.
I have had only 2 SAR Hoist missions and they have been over the water. Both time it seems like the sim doesn’t render the water as it should. No waves at all. It’s like a mirror. The burning vessel doesn’t show up until I am right above it. I don’t know if it is a Xbox thing.
I have seen this hoist on YouTube and there it was waves.
With no texture in the water it is impossible to have a reference point.
Helicopter search and rescue mission is impossible to complete. I can’t land because of the trees.
Another big problem is that I don’t get a new helicopter search and rescue mission until I complete what’s on the map. There is one such mission on the map, but it’s impossible to complete.
The development team stated that the missions on the map change daily, there will be dozens of active missions for one task.
This is not the case at the moment.
Oh man that glassy water is a birch, no wonder it takes out the float guys IRL.
Yeah, waves would be ideal in that mission.

We are the testers, if you haven’t noticed yet 
I couldn’t perform a single rescue today. The missing person can’t be approached, can’t be landed. It’s shocking that no one has tested the missions. The helicopter missions are unplayable.
I sure hope these issues get fixed soon. It’s extremely hard if not impossible to complete MOST helicopter SAR missions, for the reasons mentioned, trees, slopes, etc… I prefer to fly the helicopter missions with a small mix of fixed wing. Please fix this for us, in the near future.
I had one today that I had to land in dense trees. I could not complete it. The other I was able to complete by landing in a Lake. Somehow the sim let me do it. The person was literally in the lake estimated 10 to 15 feet from shore. It’s pretty frustrating.
Hey man, they got those waterproof tents nowadays…

• I ave the exact same problems. Many time the landing site it’s impossible or when your back to the airport you ave to park ona tree spot

Same issue
I got 6 search and rescue missions today. None of them were successful. The missing person was in the trees or on rocks. It was impossible to land. Very annoying.
The AI should place the missing person in a place where we can land with a helicopter (not on a rock, mountainside, among trees)
