Default Recognizing and reacting to tow plane engine failure

Gee...look at the first signal....

I suggest you contact the soaring safety foundation and have this situation rectified immediately!

In this country there are two standard accepted non-radio signals from
the towplane, and one from the glider:

From towplane:
- release immediately
- check your airbrakes

From glider:
- I am unable to release

Anything else is prearranged before takeoff, or else in flight over the radio.

The SSA has no influence here.
