When doing pre-take-off checks CBSIFT CB and always E(ventualities).
What will I do if the launch fails?
Where will I go after regaining flying speed?

Get it sorted in the brain on the ground before you need it in the air.

We at Dumfries & District Gliding Club have only one runway, a forest to
the East, rough ground to the West, North and South. We have to be very
aware of launch failure procedures and even our very early ab initio pilots
are taught launch failure very early in their training.
