This is a great explanation of the emergency and the recovery. As a former hoist operator and pilot now teaching physics, I use clips from this webinar to teach kids how science matters in everyday lives. Thanks SR3!
Mapping severity of spin against distance below aircraft and airspeed for each aircraft type is a method being developed to aid understanding of hoist load spin. At the recent ICAR 2022 Air Commission, Colorado National Guard gave a presentation about doing this for their UH-60 and UH-72. The examples shown in this SR3 video are broadly consistent with their mapped results considering the differences in aircraft weight and configuration.
Thanks for the feedback! We've seen the Colorado Guard's presentation and we tend to agree, the concepts discussed in that presentation largely follow what we've seen in the field under other aircraft types as well!
In the UK, all hoist operations tend to be done with HI-Line (heaving-in line, tag-line). Mountain and Coastguard rescue teams are all trained in this technique (I set up just such an exercise last weekend) and aircrew have had a lot of success in getting members of the public to perform this task based on a quick brief from the winchman. While I expect UK SAR helicopter operators to watch what is happening with development of these methods, I do not expect things to change much. There is complete confidence in the HI-line method, it is widely trained, works where visibility and obstructions hamper entry to forward flight and is a proven solution for use with large powerful aircraft with modern blades (AW189, S-92A, AW101).
Good stuff here! Congratulations! When is the next one ???

Wow, what a cool story, glad we can help inspire the next generation!
Awesome training program . I like to join next training program. .keep it up...thanks guys...
