Default In Flight Emergency

What do you need a chute for? Most tow pilots are also glider pilots
and fully capable of landing an airplane without the engine running. It
would be pretty weak to jump out of a perfectly good airplane just
because the engine stopped which, in this case, it didn't until the
pilot shut it down.

S

Not required in USA or Canada by law. Parachutes required in
competitions by the rules.
