This press story shows German operator ADAC Luftrettung carrying out some training for over-water rescue operations with their “Christop 33” Eurocopter EC135. However, HeliHub.com notes the complete absence of a winch, relying instead on a fixed rope with a padded loop on the end. In come countries, we guess that could generate some “health and safety” legal claims.
