Hi,

I suspect that it would be much easier for your typical club to train
and line up qualified winch operators than finding tow pilots.



Where I fly every student is required to start learning how to operate the
winch as soon as he or she goes solo.

As a result we have lots of winch drivers.

And I think it is a good idea anyway. You learn what a good launch looks
and feels like from the other side.

Ciao, MM

We have a better rule - no solo in glider before solo on winch...
