Ogsplash, the switch to a manually crew-activated system and disabling of the primary, pilot-controlled system is wonderful! If the aircraft picks up a vibration, do we hack off a foot or two of the rotor blades to fix it?
It is my opinion that to deny the pilot control of a suspended load is foolish and dangerous. Furthermore, to permanently fix a problem of poor installation (improperly designed, installed, tested) by disabling the system is disturbing.
