Hi all.

I listened from some pilots that the glider life hours reduce if you use winch start.

Is that true? I looked for some data about and I did not found.

have a nice day, José.

Any life adjustment issues should be in the POH or the maintenance manual.. There were adjustment factors on our L-23 for winch launches, flying with the wing tip extensions, solo/dual flight, or for aerobatic flight.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for reply, L-23 is an special situation with the AD in the wing roots.

What about K-13, Ka-6, Libelle, Std Austria, Lak-12, Std Cirrus, ASW-20...
