For the remote site problem, keep in mind that you can claim through

and a mico SD card in an SD adapter, you can just take the micro SD
card from your logger to your phone to make a claim as long as you
have cell coverage, a web browser, and a data plan.

It's often hard enough to get a voice connection in huge portions of
the western US, let alone a reliable data link.

So, if one takes a long tow of more than 15km from airport A and
releases within 15km of airport B, can the flight then be claimed as
launching from B?

No, that will not be covered by the rule.


What if the glider and towplane do a touch& go at airport B? Yes,
I've done T&G on tow.


Yes, that will be counted as take-off from airport B.
