I admit to nothing, this is not a court of law!
However, yes, as I said originally, we have had problems with the Goodrich Hoist. Mislayering leading to the hoist stopping mainly. With the cable not being visible, the first thing the winch-op usually becomes aware of is the sudden stop. Goodrich are looking at a "solution", un/fortunately? I am not party to that process so we will have to wait and see.
Why is it still fitted? Emergency use only!
