nk.net... I once gave a 747 captain his first glider ride on a winch. After release, I asked him what he thought of the launch. His answer, "I have no idea what just happened" - "I have never felt so far behind an aircraft". Bill Daniels He probably missed not having his co-pilot to do the flying for him. Pat Barfield :-)

wrote: It's probably because you and your friends are accustomed to winch launch as a normal way to get gliders into the air. In the USA, winch launch is still a novelty for most glider pilots. I very much agree that the workload is far less during a winch launch as compared to airtow, but the sensations are quite novel for the uninitiated. Sure this is the case. But it's nothing that coud not be trained away with 30 winch launches... Bye Andreas
