Is anybody else getting a headache over this Proposed Airworthiness Directive regarding the Goodrich 44301 hoist..?
EASA PAD 13-155 1.pdf
Further background reading;
2607-S-85-Rev-0-EN.pdf
It appears to me that the result would be that incorrect use of equipment by a few will in effect cause mayor restrictions and consequences for the vast majority of hoist operators.
Such limitation would cause the cost per hoist cycle to sky rocket to a level that would ruin the economical basis for many operations.
I hope that everybody else affected are also busy writing objections to the proposal.
Any thoughts…?
