Aerotow launch procedure
Aerotows are performed using the nose release hook. Refer to
Section 2.12 for rope lengths.
Initiate the ground run in negative flap (Flap setting 1). This will increase
aileron efficiency at low speeds. In a crosswind take-off, keep the stick
aft during the initial acceleration. This prevents the aircraft from weather-
cocking into wind.
As soon as positive aileron control is available, set the flap to the setting
indicated in Table 4.5-3.

Retracting the landing gear on aerotow is not recommended.
To release, pull the yellow release handle all the way. If the low tow
position is used, it is recommended to release only after moving into the
