Hi Ned
Found the above very very very interesting
having come from a winching enviroment and with 38 winches in anger under my belt and countless training winches. i was never ever taught this..
We all know that the cable can take so much but your explanation was enlightning to say the very least..
Enlight of what has happened to the very experienced pilot out of YHID, perhaps this should be taught inline with getting a winch endorsement..
My thoughts go to all involved in the incident,,
Ned are you going to be at the Dubai air show next week,,if so Ill look you up
