Stall spin during aero tow? Std cirrus

Cheers, 66 As an active glider pilot and retired tow pilot, it always disappointed me as the tuggie when the glider pilot would tell me he would get off at 3,000' AGL.Â* Then we'd proceed tow through super lift only to have him release in sink at 3,000' AGL and practically beat me back to the ground.Â* Just one of my pet peeves because the tuggie usually gets the blame for the poor judgement of the glider pilot.Â* Get off in lift, not at some predetermined altitude! -- Dan, 5J |
