Winch Signals

My understanding is that the BGA recommends lights, but with radio back-up. As well as being noise independent lights require only one power source whereas radios require two, one at each end! Same goes for lights: you need them on the winch too. They provide a back channel, let people on the field know when the cables are live, and on some fields are needed to control airfield traffic. I'd be MOST unhappy to be at a club that didn't have lights on the winch. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
