I should have said 'safe' instead of 'normal.' But
to respond to the comment, I have been told by tow
pilots at more than one site that they don't really
feel a tug to the left or right and don't notice it
unless they see it in a mirror.

The tow pilots at one commercial operation insisted
that those commands were invented when tow planes were
souped up Cubs and that they are too subtle for Pawnees.
I'm not a tow pilot and I have no opinion on this.

I think we have tugged this subject about every place
it can go.

I think some tug pilots believe this too. It probably
explains why
some of them refuse to turn in response to the glider
maintaining high
left or high right tow position.
