Description
Purpose-built Box Knocking Ring for helicopter water winch, Search and Rescue (SAR) and aircrew proficiency training.
The GSI Helicopter Box Knocking Ring is a specialist floating training device designed for helicopter crews conducting water-winching and rescue training exercises.
Box Knocking allows aircrew to practise aircraft positioning, hovering, crew coordination and winch-hook capture over water in a controlled training exercise.
Manufactured by Global Safety Industries in Australia for professional aviation, emergency response, marine rescue and helicopter training applications.
What is Box Knocking?
Box Knocking is a helicopter water-winching training exercise used to develop and maintain crew proficiency.
A floating Box Knocking Ring is deployed into the water and the helicopter crew manoeuvres a specialised training hook toward the target. Training can progress from accurately positioning and touching the ring to successfully capturing it with the hook.
AMSA describes Box Knocking as a training procedure used to increase crew water-winching proficiency without requiring a dedicated recovery vessel and crew or additional down-the-wire personnel.
