Wingrunner Checklist
John, that's not always true. My LS8 spoilers will stay open by themselves, even without me in the cockpit. I agree with the rest of what you say.

The trouble sign is spoilers cracked, but not all open. On fiberglass gliders (not blaniks) the spoilers will not stay open by themselves, so if they are open you know the pilot's hand is on the spoiler lever and it's intentional. A checklist is a good idea. As others mentioned, the pattern need not be clear, but looking to see who is in the pattern where they are and helping to decide whether the tow can proceed, or needs to wait for the landing glider is important. What's nice about this one is you proceed in a logical direction from front to back. John cochrane
