Just to add two thoughts- 1) the wake is more mild as the tug is
generating less power, 2) it worked best for me (and this is how I was taught) if the sailplane controls the descent rate and the towplane controls the speed. This division of duties prevents the towplane from landing too short. Also, at towplane final approach speed, the glider will be well above stall and clearly not ready to land. Thus it is natural for the glider pilot to keep it flying and apply just enough spoilers are needed at this point to keep the rope taught. The maneuver is uneventful if properly planned out, but it does eat up lot of runway. Chad 4Z |
