Tips for Towing
• Continually communicate with the pilot of the
sailplane to make the pilot aware when you are
turning, are having diffi culty, or need the tow
line released.
• Be sure that the sailplane pilot keeps the wings
level at all times. The sailplane pilot should not try
to turn the aircraft, he should allow the tow plane
to drag the aircraft around the turns.
• Avoid slack in the line while fl ying. Slack can
cause the tow plane to abruptly pull the sailplane
around. This can cause numerous problems, and
could result in a crash of one or both aircraft.
• Be sure to make only wide sweeping turns.
Tight turns will result in the sailplane becoming
unstable.
If a problem occurs, the pilot of the sailplane should
release the tow line from the nose of his sailplane
so that both aircraft can be safely landed.
Crash
damage is not covered under warranty.
If there is a break in the tow line, tie the ends
together securely or replace the line (EFLU1257)
when needed.
