Default USA - Private Pilot glider tow compensation

The key sentence is near the end of page two, where the
FAA finally gets to the bottom line and states: "Accordingly, Section
61.113(g) permits a private pilot to act as PIC for compensation or
hire of an aircraft towing a glider or unpowered ultralight vehicle."


Bottom line: nothing bad has happened and possibly something really
good.

Phil: This was really good and a great example of the value that the SSA
provides to the American soaring community. Thanks for your personal
effort on this one.
