[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1508137, member: 18945"] That is what the pickle handle/button is for. Any helo that is equipped to carry an external sling load has a quick disconnect hook. Trip it, and whatever is suspended below drops free. On the older helos, it was a handle, sort of like an emergency brake handle on a car. It actually pulled a cable that released the pelican hook. Nowadays, it's all electronic over hydraulics most of the time. Typical of a modern transport helicopter's cargo and winch control console. (this one has 3 different hooks, so 3 different settings + 'all'.
