I'm very surprised to hear that CASA has granted approval to disconnect cable cutters. They have always knocked that back for all the companies I have flown for.
It is a known problem with some hoists and I thought that various remedies had been found?
In Oz I can only recall one incident, albeit serious, in Sydney and I believe the cause was found.
Manual cable cutters are often too small and pretty useless, so I would not like to have my cable cutter disconnected.
