As stated in the AMPI, maint man chap4, "retirement lives" section (if I remember correctly).
The penalty is NOT on the TXmission but on the input driveshafts into the TXmission.
Formula is... Flight time for that entire sortie X number of hoist cycles X 2.5 (hoist cycles being down and up as one cycle, weight or no weight does not matter)
TXmission penalty is for sling load (hook) work, don't have the formula at hand.
TC, I believe that I might have met you in Abu Dhabi and had a telephone conversation with you???
