What is the RN/RAF deffinition of the winch-op call of "steady"?
Does it mean hold position and height or just position.
I believe it is used by both in the same sense. To stop all lateral/forward & aft movement and hold position.
'Height is Good' serves the same purpose for vertical movement, ie hold the height and cancel any descent/climb.
For example does "steday & down 10" make sense?
Steady, Down 10 makes sense. 'and' is ommitted as it is superfluous.
