Winchman Spinning
I am a fixed-wing pilot (A330) with only a half hour on a Robinson 22, but have always wondered why the Seach & Rescue winchman has to endure all that dangerous swinging and particularly spinning in the wire.
I saw a TV program recently with the winchman trying to twist to land face forwards on the ship deck.
Is there no solution to the problem in this day and age?
Just a query if anyone has time to answer.
