3.3
Maximum
permissible all up weight of the glider to be towed
The airspeed during glider towing operations must not exceed the maximum permissible
airspeed of the towed glider.
The minimum airspeed when towing a glider must not drop below 1.3 x V
S
of the towed
glider.
The maximum permissible all up weight of the glider to be towed shall not exceed 1400
lb. We recommend to maintaining 1300 lb as maximum weight of the glider to be
towed, when operated with the standard fixed pitch propeller.
Tow ropes should be a length of at least 165 to 200 ft.
A weak link of Q
nom
= 300 daN has to be installed.
During glider towing operations the REMOS G-3 /600 must be operated only by one pilot
(no passenger allowed, except for training/instruction). The total take off weight (towing
ai glider) must not exceed 2400 lb.
