Winch launch procedure and accidents
Ian
Yes, ON the release.
a) the BGA guidance quoted by others.
b) my SLMG has a grey, differently shaped, manual prop
brake lever next to the cable release. The former lever
is not useful during a wing drop.
I do take my hand off the release towards the end of
the ground run.
Please could you expand as to what nasty accident might
result due to me having my hand ON the release at the
beginning of the ground run.
Thanks
Rory

'On' the release? Eeek. People have had nasty accidents
that way!
