We run the Goodrich Hoist on 10 of our 412 EMS (5 Classic, 5 EP) machines in oz (and 6 x S-76, 4x 365 and AS332) Great hoist super reliable, just get your Engineer to adjust the up travel speed limit to take effect about 8 to 10 feet below the skids (75 ft/min) so even if the crewman is still hoisting in at full speed (250 ft/min) you will not drive the victim into the skids. Basic limits first and last 2 feet 10ft/min, next 10/15 feet 75ft/min , max speed 250ft/min rest.
The hoist arm fitted to our machines is the arm manufactured by Helitech in Brisbane Australia (owned by Sikorsky) much better arm then fitted to 412's I saw in the states. better mounting into xmissn pylon and top deck and better position for hoist relative to Airframe.
