....And the pitch rate is very high in a kiting incident. The tuggie can
be at full back stick and no longer in control quicker than he can
recognize and act.

I definitely agree that we should teach recognition and remediation.

But I also think that the main point here is that a true kiting incident
is
a divergent condition such that, once established, can easily escalate at
a
rate beyond human control. So we have to be careful about how we teach
it.

I'm not a power/ tow pilot so this could be rubbish,but
Could an alarm be fitted at 90%back stick just to remind tug pilots just
how
much up elevator they are using to prevent gradually drifting into a
potential
dangerous situation from which there will be no escape.
I doubt most of us need an alarm to know we're pulling that much.
