Seems there were problems with the winch that were not mentioned in the TSB report
That's correct, what we heard was that the primary winch failed and the secondary winch was used to retrieve Robert.

Ian Wheeler and the SAR crew did an excellent job considering they were flying in the same A/C type that just went down. I'm assuming all the SAR team is being awarded.

Safe flying
