Hi,
I suspect that it would be much easier for your typical club to train and
line up qualified winch operators than finding tow pilots.
Where I fly every student is required to start learning how to operate the
winch as soon as he or she goes solo.
As a result we have lots of winch drivers.
And I think it is a good idea anyway. You learn what a good launch looks
and feels like from the other side.
Ciao, MM
