Probably oldtimer's: but thought the WxIII was 150ft transit/30ft hover, and the SK upped those figures to 200'/40'. As the first victim for night winching on 700S, even 40' was too bl**dy low

706's WxIII's nearly always had voltage spikes when moving to the ASW phase of AFT. Surface corrosion would often set in in the 6 weeks that the system wasn't used was the excuse.
