Abstract

A fixture is described. The fixture is for detecting forces between a hook assembly and a bell mouth of a rescue hoist. The fixture couples to the bell mouth such that the fixture is affixed to a main housing of the rescue hoist. A cable of the rescue hoist extends through the bell mouth and the fixture. The cable includes a distal end coupled to the hook assembly. The cable is retractable causing the hook assembly to abut the fixture. The fixture may then detect the force. The force may be used to provide an indication to a crew of an aircraft that the force is below a minimum homing load or above a maximum homing load.
