We have a traction splint on the aircraft on on the off-chance we might need it. We have a KED on the aircraft on the off-chance we might need it. (I can remember using it once in two and a half years)We will have a winch on the aircraft for the same reason. Different finances, same concept.
So just how often go you propose to train with the hoist? Once/twice a blue moon?
I can just imagine the conversation in your aircraft. Something like, " I've seen them do this on Seaside Rescue, no problem for us! O.K. left a bit, a bit more, whats that noise?? Oh St!!"
It's not a dark art but does need regular practice.
