Tow Signals
I don't fly both ends of the rope, but it seems to me that we at the
trailing end have fewer adverse effects that can be caused by the pilot at the other end. In other words, we could cause the tug pilot more problems that he can cause us. The two times I've been waved off, there was no mistake about what was intended. To solve the spoiler open thing... I just fly ships that don't have them (yukin' it up, here)... Seriously, know and use the signal. Someone posted that there's no excuse for not having a $200- portable... There's no excuse for not knowing these important signals. Radios are great but... Radios DO malfunction... Transmissions DO get walked on... And... you don't get too much for $200- in a portable. That being the opinion of someone that does radio for a living.
