Retrieve winches would not suit ACO Operations.

Go to the Long Mynd and watch one at work. They are terrific for that sort of Operation but for the ACO setup - no way, due to the amount of aircraft on the ground at any one time (and associated staff standing by them debriefing etc.........), and no way you would operate 2 on the same field............1 retrieve cable screw up and you would have the mother of all birds nests to sort out............

I think H&S would stop retrieve winches on an ACO operation before it even started. For the safety of the students I for one would prefer it that way.
