Capt. Matthew Arnold swims towards a hoist from a UH-1N Iroquois helicopter during a water operations training scenario Oct. 17, 2014, at Long Lake, Washington. As part of the water operations training, Arnold entered the water, waited for the pilot to make several passes to familiarize themselves on approach and hoisting procedures over water. Once in the water and actions were complete, swimmers would communicate to the pilots that they were ready for pick-up using hand signals over their heads. The flight engineer would then hoist the swimmers up from approximately 40 feet. Some pilots were tasked to complete several attempts of ‘helo-casting’ and hoisting to complete their search and rescue certification while others were trainers or used the mission as re-certification.
