Shytorque, didn't the board of enquiry find the pilots 'not guilty'? They reckoned the crewman was facing backwards in the door and got his left/right wrong??
There was a student at a unit I instructed on who had this problem and we chopped him because he often turned towards danger when we called it. We made the mistake of calling him dyslexic on the suspension report. When he produced a medical report showing he wasn't dyslexic, he was reinstated and gained his wings.
From here, I do not know the exact details, but he was removed from the SAR force after some time on the squadron. It is said that when hovering close to a cliff, the crewman called 'right one' and he moved left!!
He now flies in another capacity!!
I now believe that a problem like this should mean suspension from flying, harsh but necessary.
