Experimental aircraft and towing
Is it just my imagination, or has the FAA recently obfuscated the FARs
to the point where it is now legal to tow a glider with an aircraft that has an experimental certificate (but not for hire). Things I noticed today while poking around: 91.309 now permits towing unpowered ultralight "vehicles" along with gliders (and, I assume, gliders that are light sport aircraft). 91.319 allows an experimental aircraft to tow a glider that is a light-sport aircraft or unpowered ultralight vehicle for compensation or hire. Is there a prohibition against towing non-LSA gliders with experimental aircraft, as long as it is not for compensation or hire? Can a light-sport aircraft tow a glider that is not an LSA for compensation or hire? Marc
