Default Snow over ice

Pulling on the tail tie down ring might just rip it off. There unfortunately
is no way even four people could push it upslope on our ramp on the ice.


If it won't take being winched up a slight grade (I can't believe your
ramp is all THAT steep), then it certainly can't be relied on to tie
down your airplane in any significant wind.
