Default Tow Plane Upsets......


This tow pilot will not agree to putting aircraft out of control at any altitude.

I can imagine that a severe kiting upset of the type under discussion could put a towplane uncomfortably close to its negative load factor limits. It might also expose the tug's tailplane to loads beyond those for which it was designed or tested.
