displayed to improve situational
awareness of the entire rescue crew
–
–
–
•
•
Pilot can focus on flying the aircraft without
wondering or guessing the situation on the ground
• Aircraft height above the ground
• Hook height above the ground
• Weight on hook
• Maneuvering the aircraft to a precise location
over the victim is easier
All cockpit crew members can see the status of the
victim being rescued and the paramedic/swimmer
Hoist operator actions can be seen by all crew
members
• Hook is being raised, lowered or stationary
• How high is the hook above the ground
• How much weight is on the hook
An improved understanding of the mission
will improve communications and will
improve safety
Video record of mission can be used as a
training aid during post mission debrief
