Does anybody know what the certification situation is for towing with
ultralight catorgory aircraft (450kg AUW) is in Europe these days? How
many tow planes are certified for tugging and what mass of glider are
they permitted to tow?


Most ultralights in Germany are certified to tow gliders, most of
them are limited to 650 kg AUW of the glider, some of them to 750 kg.
