Glider Towing Supplement 10.2 - 11
Rev. 01 – 07-01-2008
7 Normal
Procedures
7.1 Preflight
Check
Check tow release clutch to assure proper function and clean condition.
7.2 Take-Off
During take-off, special care has to be taken that the climb rate and airspeed are adopted are to the
required values of the towed glider. Watch your rate of climb immediately after take-off (do not exceed the
gliders climb capability)! To maintain permissible water- and oil temperatures during climb and descent,
the aircraft must be equipped with an oil temperature regulation flap. During climb the operating lever of
this flap should be in the "open/cooler" position.
7.3
Descent and Landing
After disengaging the glider and prior to descent, it is recommended to close the oil temperature
regulation flap (position "closed/warmer"). Special care has to be paid to keep all temperatures within the
permissible range. If required to keep temperatures at proper operation levels, the throttle may be left at a
setting just above the idle position.
Before descent, it may be necessary to retract flaps to establish cruise configuration (flaps up, 0°),
otherwise the maximum permissible descent speed of V
FE
max. = 81 mph (70 knots) must not exceed!
Before landing, the tow rope has to be released at a safe altitude (~ 150 ft AGL). Touch down with the
tow rope still connected to the release clutch is not permissible!
